Fakes & FraudsBlue helvine (helvite) from Romania, Cavnic?

9th Jan 2014 11:59 UTCAttila Jakab

Hello,


I found this:

http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/blue-helvite-helvin-cavnic-rumenia-56485900

and I was wondering, if anyone ever heard about blue helvine from Cavnic? If yes then does anyone have a photo?

Thank you!

I heard about blue scheelite from Cavnic, not helvite.

Regards

I think also this is a misstake. I hade seen blueish scheelite from Cavnic but never Helvite in this colour.

Thank you for your help! I thought it was a mistake, but I wanted to be sure. Blue helvine would have been nice.


All the best,

Attila
