JFD99AO2: The fluorites from Buxières-les-Mines are striking for their globular appearance and for the brilliance and transparency of the multitude of small crystals that make up the globules. In addition, in this specimen the two colors stand out, the typical brown from the locality and a violet color in some areas.
I bought it from Alain Martaud in 2011, and he got it from Dr. Martin's collection.
