EE7H6: Fluorite

Crystals show a very uncommon double habit because in them two phases of growth co-exist. Both phases are very well marked by the differences of color and luster. The first phase forms an inner octahedron, bright and of very deep violet color, only distinguishable because the second phase, whitish and less bright, formed the cube and the triangular faces of octahedron that allowed the tips of the primitive octahedron to project as small pyramids on a plane.

MXF99CD1: Fluorite (dichroic) with Quartz

Much deserves to be said about this piece, but the Mineralogical Record magazine's website has already done so, in its section "What’s New on the Internet Reports”, vol. 68, December 2023, page 9, and also, and very extensively, the magazines Lapis on page 37 of its 12/2023 edition, and Le Règne Minéral, no. 174/2023, page 26. These dichroic fluorites from Nigeria have been seen at different shows throughout the year, but until now no specimens of significant quality had appeared. Are we going to see many more specimens of this quality? Is this piece, so perfect, going to be an exception? Impossible to know that now, but surely the year 2024 will show us whether this piece is a unique case or not. The only thing that is certain is that it is a very pretty Fluorite, whatever happens later with specimens from this locality.
