Blue Fluorite from Montroc (France)

This piece of blue fluorite, comes from the deposits of Montroc in the Tarn (France). Fluorite is a mineral that crystallizes as cubes nested on the cutting edges. This specimen has a pure blue hue, accompanied by yellow crystals, probably of barytin, visible under the fluorite. These mineral associations are typical of the deposits of the Tarn, although such examples have become rare.
The fluorites of Montroc and surrounding areas are renowned among collectors for their intense hues and remarkable crystallization. France, especially the Tarn and the Massif Central, occupies an important place in the history of mineralogy, with deposits that have produced very sought-after specimens.
Presented in a square beveled glass box, this fluorite is protected while being enhanced, making this specimen a unique piece for mineral lovers.
