Fluorite with Quartz, Chlorite and Muscovite
As recorded:
Minas da Panasqueira, level 0, Aldeia de São Francisco de Assis, Covilhã, Castelo Branco, Cova da Beira, Centro Portugal
38mm x 30mm x 26mm
Aggregate of cubic Fluorite crystals beveled by the dodecahedron. They are colorless, with rough faces due to micro-crystalline growths, and have violet phantoms. They are on matrix, with Quartz crystals, Chlorite coatings and small Muscovite aggregates. The upper levels of Panasqueira are currently offering surprising and pleasant novelties, with samples that are very different from what has been known from this mine.
