A discovery due to the hard work of amateur collectors, a treasure recovered in an unexpected place, the currently abandoned Four de Cluzel Mine. Very sharp Fluorite crystals, translucent and bright yellow lemon with uniform color, are topped by a parallel growth of very sharp tabular Baryte crystals. Both the Fluorite and Baryte are partially and selectively coated with small water-clear crystals of Quartz. Because of their color, luster and crystal size, these are among the most beautiful French Fluorites.
