Description
A small specimen of violet fluorite with a darker core and a “melted” appearance, to be admired in the right light. To transform into cutstone?
A particular area of the Boltry quarry yielded this type of specimen in the 1950s/1970s. It’s long gone.
This discovery is world-famous for the variety of colors of its fluorite masses, and the transparency of its cores, which can often be used to cut stones.
From the Boltry (Carmeuse) quarry in Seilles, Belgium.
