Hematite included fluorite cubes are almost completely overgrown by oddly shaped calcite rhombs and rows of micro quartz crystals growing in between, wherever space remains. The calcites glow a brilliant bright orange under UV. The specimen comes from the Canada Fluorspar Inc. Mine, which was, until recently, mining a fluorite vein in a cluster of fluorite veins that have been mined on and off for decades. The company identified a significant fluorite bearing structure hosted in the meta-sediments which has been intruded by rhyolite sills and dykes. The Mine is currently closed and it may open again, sometime in the future.
