Fluorite on Barite

Mineral Species: Fluorite on Barite

Chemical Formula: CaF2

Chemical Name: Calcium Fluoride

Mineral Class: Halide

Mineral Notes: Fluorite is found in a wide range of geologic environments, ranging from inclusions in granite to replacement deposits in limestones. It is one of the most commonly collected minerals because of the beauty of its specimens.

Description: The specimen is dominated by a single large cube of dark-purple Fluorite. The edges and terminations are well-formed and sharp. Nearby are two smaller cubes and the reverse of the specimen consists of at least another dozen gemmy cubes. The colour contrast between the Fluorite and cream-coloured Barite is very attractive
