TBR50CD5: Group of cubic Fluorite crystals with light blue polycrystalline faces, very translucent and lustrous, with the classic edges modified by lilac-colored rough rhombohedral faces so characteristic of Josefa-Veneros, and with scalenohedral crystals of Calcite on the back of the piece.
About fifty years have passed since this piece was found and we still continue to marvel at Josefa-Veneros' quality specimens, like this one, which comes from Julio Martín's collection.
Josefa-Veneros vein, 75 level, Coroña de Arriba-La Collada, La Collada mining area, Siero, Comarca Oviedo, Principality of Asturias (Asturias) Spain (±1974)
Specimen size: 6.7 × 5.2 × 3 cm = 2.64” × 2.05” × 1.18”
Main crystal size: 2.4 × 2.2 cm = 0.94” × 0.87”
