Mineral Exchangesunusual fluorite crystals wanted
21st Feb 2012 17:31 UTCMichel Blondieau
For a friend who is studying fluorite, I'd like to obtain small fluorite crystals with unusual forms.
Best are the ones not exceeding a few millimeters showing complex forms.
If you have any, don't hesitate to send a mail; we'll can probably do a swap. Find my list here :

Sorry for publicities on my trade page; I cannot destroy it.
Thanks

I just wanted to let you know that I have Blue John Tumble stones that are polished. As shown in the picture, it is a collection of Rare Blue John Fluorite Crystal rocks.
I also have a lot of various polished Rainbow Fluorite Slices in various sizes.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Many thanks,
Mark Webster

Thank you for your mail but my friend try to find all possible fluorite crystals. Halas, he has no interest in polished fluorite even if it is the rare Blue John.
Again thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Michel

I might have a fluorite sample with corner modifications, either the trapezohedron or the trisoctahedron modification on cube - have to do a search and check further. If I find it, I'll add it to the other samples heading your way.

Many thanks for your reply.
I do also have other crystal forms of the Blue John. The first picture is a 2.99KG large museum piece and the other one is about 4cm in width and length.
I do have a lot of other crystal Blue John samples.
Many thanks,
Mark
