SPECTACULAR AND UNIQUE PIECE WITH MULTITUDE OF FIRST QUALITY MINERALS. IN THIS PIECE WE CAN SEE THE MAIN MINERAL WHICH IS FLUORITE WITH THE TYPICAL TONALITY OF THE MOSCONA, PLUS A SMALL AREA WITH BLUE CRYSTALS (VERY SOUGHT AFTER IN THIS MINE) IN THE BACK WE CAN SEE LARGE SIZED CALCITE CRYSTALS AND CRYSTALS OF DOLOMITE DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE REAR PART OF THE PIECE. AND IN THE INTERMEDIATE WE CAN SEE THE CHALCOPYRITE SHEETS THAT MAKE THIS PIECE A PIECE FOR COLLECTORS.
Fluorite is a group III mineral (halides) that, according to Strunz's classification, formed the elements calcium and fluorine.
Its structure belongs to the cubic system, and it appears with cubic, octahedral and dodecahedral rhomboid habit.
Fluorite exhibits thermoluminescence and fluorescence physical properties.
In industry, it is mainly used in iron and steel metallurgy. It is used as a source of fluorine and hydrofluoric acid, also in the glazing of ceramics and in the manufacture of optical glasses.
The beauty of the specimens makes it a highly appreciated mineral by museums and private collectors.
