TY50Z9: A novelty from Ste. Marie 2014. Vivid deep blue Fluorite crystals, with shades that vary between indigo and navy blue on a matrix of white crystallized Quartz. The smaller Fluorite crystals are neatly cubic, with small dodecahedron bevels and with very well defined curvatures on faces and edges, while the largest ones are unusually strongly rounded, a very uncommon shape for Fluorite. This shape is due to the balanced forms of the cube, polycrystalline and deeply edged, and the smooth dodecahedral faces, both dodecahedron and cube have curved faces and edges. Completely different from other, previous finds in Huanggang, it is a kind of dream for lovers of unusual crystallography.
This specimen was photographed and published as a novelty at the 2014 Ste. Marie Show in the magazine ‘Le Règne Minéral’ number 118, page 47
