XXXXX

Before publishing the final piece of this edition (and the last piece that Fabre Minerals will ever publish) we want to pay a small tribute to the many visitors who may have never bought anything from us but have spent hours and hours exploring what after September 30th will no longer be a commercial website but a Virtual Museum of Minerals.
We offer this beautiful French Fluorite from La Barre Mine to the first of our followers who requests it, and we will also cover its shipping cost, no matter where it's going.
It's yours if you're the first to ask for it!

We couldn't reach the end of this edition without one of the most classic of classics: an 'alpine' quality smoky Quartz, with its small matrix of Albite, and, like the mountains in which it forms, standing tall, pointing towards the sky.

SV3260TGH

A very rare species, Greifensteinite, which is a phosphate of calcium, iron, and beryllium, doesn't particularly stand out for its beauty. However, it has been fortunate to find excellent companionship as both Muscovite and Albite are pleasing and enhance the aesthetics of the less attractive Greifensteinite.

A Hureaulite with dark-colored Rockbridgeite. This is one of the older ones from Fazenda Pomaroli, which tend to have a deeper color and a higher density of crystals compared to the more modern ones from the Cigana Mine.

After the first significant gold discovery in Serra do Caldeirão in 2015 (An opportune harvest of Gold in Serra do Caldeirão claims, Brazil), there have been new small finds in the area. Specifically, this Gold is from 2017 and is from the Serra Dourada area.
Compared to the others, it has an excellent color and the crystal faces are more rounded than those of golds from the Serra do Caldeirão.
