NV66AF7: A novelty at Sainte Marie-aux-Mines 2017. Group of very sharp cubic crystals, one of them dominant, very aerial and clearly beveled by the dodecahedron. The crystals are extraordinarily transparent and bright with a vivid and uniform lilac color, and they are implanted on matrix which is sawn on the bottom. One of the crystals shows, at the back, a neat geometrical contact zone with another crystal. The “Coquera del Tubo” is a new collecting site for Fluorite at the Llamas quarry and is now producing very high-quality specimens.
This sample has been referenced and figured as a novelty in Ste. Marie 2017, in the magazine "Le Règne Minéral" (Num. 136. 2017; page 43)
