Fluorite with Barite

LOCATION:

Royal Flush Mine, Garden Spring Canyon, Bingham, Hansonburg District, Socorro Co., New Mexico, USA

DESCRIPTION:

Transparent to translucent blue cubes of Fluorite to 8 mm richly cover this specimen from a less common New Mexico locality. Some of the Fluorites have distinct purple edges, and a few blades of white Barite accent the specimen. A single palest-yellow cube is perched on the blue Fluorite. The base is sawed. This is quite a nice specimen, and really exceptional for the size. Collected on May 12, 2000 by Carolyn Seitz.

SIZE: 135 x 132 x 43 mm overall (Large Cabinet)

COLLECTION: ex. Carolyn Seitz collection
