Description

Beautiful and imposing set of bluish cubic crystals of fluorite, covered with chunky crystals of limpid quartz and some crystals of golden chalcopyrite.

Very rare defects (quartz with rubbed edges). The largest fluorite cube measures 6.5 cm in edge.

Superb specimen coming from the old fluorite mine of Burc (or Burg), in the Tarn department. A mine that provided excellent blue fluorite crystals.

This specimen is from the collection of Eric Asselborn.

Here is a video of these crystals of quartz, fluorite and chalcopyrite of Burc:
