Description

An odd specimen from a rare, remote russian locality on Kola peninsula which is more known for amethysts. Fluorite seems to be rare - but is listed on mindat. Cleavage and hardness clearly stands for fluorite regarding this piece.

There are thin layers of deep purple and white zoned fluorite on a tan-colored rock matrix. The fluorite originally filled veinlets and small clefts in the rock. It shows some reflections from countless tiny cleavage faces when viewed from distinct angles (see pics 4 & 5). The shape of the layers depend on the cutting plane of an imaginary octahedron - it may be a rectangle (pic 3), but also a hexagon (pics 4, 5 & 7) is possible.
