A complex layering of white calcite, sea-foam green fluorite and then a final coating of clear micro quartz. The specimen glows light blue under the UV light, fluorite a light blue and the calcite a bright orange. The piece also has patchy clusters of micro quartz as well as galena inclusions. 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.
