Description

Big specimen of almost 0.5 Kg of a single fluorite crystal from Seilles, an already classic from Belgium. It is a floater specimen, of a deep and uniform blue colour and formed by spiky, naturally etched faces. These pieces were found as floater crystals in a loose clay matrix, filling cracks in limestones. In perfect condition, with just minor erosions, it is hard to find nowadays a floater piece such as this, in this undamaged condition. The blue colour is specially intense in this, and the last three pictures shown here were taken under indirect back sunlight.

Collected by Marcel Volant at the end of the 1960’s, it was acquired in 1990 by Prof. Dr. Renaud Vochten (vochtenite).
