At the end of the month of May 2003 in the La Collada mining area they found a superb pocket the size of at least two cars and full of crystallized specimens. This pocket was named "Tres de La Collada" for the name of the area where it was found and it supplied more than 6000 specimens. That seems like a lot of specimens, but as is usual in this kind of find, only a few of this huge total had "collector quality". Well connected with all main Spanish finds, we went there immediately and we made a significant selection of our favorite specimens.
In some cases (the bluer ones) the shape is very similar to the famous old classic La Collada Fluorite, with naturally modified corners. In other cases (the more violet ones) they are completely different from the others found at this locality in the past. The white Quartz matrix in a few specimens completes the fame of the find.
As usual with La Collada classic specimens, the surface of the crystals is not that brilliant, but rather slightly glazed. This is due to a second generation of globular Fluorite (by the way very similar to the new Indian ones) partially covering the surface of the crystals. When viewed with a magnifying glass it is spectacular as it looks like sea waves.
Please note that all the specimens are shown with two kind of lights: fluorescent or day light and bulb light. The color depends so much on which of these two light sources is used that we preferred to display them in the two different lights.

NG46F7: Calcite is not so common in this Quarry. In this case we have a quite large, rounded crystal of Calcite on the typical matrix of Fluorite and Quartz, although in this case the Fluorite is colorless. Curiously the Calcite is intensely yellow-orange near the rear, almost certainly due to the presence of oxides that were in the iron rich fluids from which it formed.
