TQ76AE2: Yellow cubic Fluorite crystals coated by small crystals of iridescent, extraordinarily bright Pyrite, accompanied by white scalenohedral Calcite crystals with parallel growths and some associated Pyrite. The specimen is very reminiscent of the classic pieces from this locality, but comes from modern finds made after the reopening of the Villabona Mines.

The Villabona Mines are part of the Villabona-Arlós mining district, whose Fluorite deposits occur at the contact between the Paleozoic basement and the Permo-Triassic cover. The mineralization occurs both in fracture-related veins and in stratabound bodies and consists mainly of Fluorite, accompanied by Calcite, Baryte, Dolomite, and sulphides, especially Pyrite. Yellow Fluorite is particularly characteristic of this mining district.
