NF48AB4: Aggregate of transparent and deep violet Fluorite crystals with very well defined geometrical growths and on a matrix of Quartz crystals. Being from a classic locality, this particular sample is from a not so well known point and its aspect is slightly different from the usual Fluorite in the area.

MT49AD2: Cluster of cubic crystals finely beveled by the dodecahedron. They are transparent, bright and have a very intense and deep lilac color. The sample has characteristics that are quite different from the more usual Berbes crystals because they came from an unusual place, the Cuetu IV (North block)

MT50AJ5: Group of cubic Fluorite crystals with very well defined polycrystalline growths. They are translucent with a purple color with mauve shades and are with an aerial group of white Baryte crystals. A Spanish classic.
Berbes mining area, Berbes, Ribadesella, Comarca del Oriente, Principality of Asturias (Asturias)  Spain

Specimen size: 17.5 × 11.5 × 6.7 cm = 6.89” × 4.53” × 2.64”

Main crystal size: 5.2 × 4.5 cm = 2.05” × 1.77”

SV2540NEZ: Group of cubic Fluorite crystals intergrown with each other, with marked polycrystalline growths on the faces of the cube and of a very deep and uniform mauve color, accompanied by small leafy Baryte crystals. The specimen is not perfect, it has some small dings on the edges, but stands out for the locality of origin, the Ana concession, better known as the 'Mina Ana'. The specimens that came out there are not usually very aesthetic (not to be confused with everything found later by artisanal diggings in the area of Playa Vega) so that, due to its quality, this specimen can be considered a rarity for what is usually found there.
