Description Tabs

Description
Locality: 
Yanci Quarries, Igantzi, Navarre, Spain
Size Range: 
Thumbnail (1-3cm)
Size: 
2.2 × 1.5 × 1.8 cm
Description

A thumbnail of beveled cubic fluorite crystals, one of them dominant,  transparent and bright. With polysynthetic growths that form tiled structures on the cube faces.

Good violet colour with marked geometric zoning.

On the cube faces a generation of small but transparent scalenohedral calcite crystals has grown. On matrix with white laminar “book” barite crystals. Fluorite from this locality is also not at all common, which makes this one even more interesting.
