Can you help make this a better article? What good localities have we missed? Can you supply pictures of better specimens than those we show here? Can you give us more and better information about the specimens from these localities? Can you supply better geological or historical information on these localities?

Here will go a good picture of a fluorite from Kazakhstan and general remarks about the fluorite from this country. Here are some url's to some of the better Kazakstani fluorite specimens here on Mindat that can be considered for inclusion in the article. These, in most cases are just for temporary use until we can get images of the much better specimens that are almost certainly out there. We should also consider that there are probably localities out there with fine specimens that are not even mentioned on Mindat. Also in some instances there are sometimes pictures on Mindat, of specimens from a locality, but they were so ratty that I did not include them here, but there may also be really good specimens from there that we should talk about in this article.

Maybe you could use this cute Kara-Oba Fluorite for the article.
Anyway it could be the start for a article on a locality that produced some great specimens.

Mario,
Thats a nice specimen. I can't guarantee that the person who writes that particular fluorite article will want to use it, but If I wrote the article, I would. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
