r/OnlyFluorite

Last week, u/palindrom_six_v2 had a fluorite giveaway if you could guess the locale of a fluorite piece they showed. I won the giveaway, and I received these stunning fluorites (and some additional stones)! Thank you SO MUCH for this awesome collection of stones!

I think they're the best thing out of the mine. Just gorgeous! (Purchased from claypocketz_crystals on TT)

I really don't know about the inclusions. My good guess is Rutile or Riebeckite.

My guess is due to the reason that I have seen Quartz with these inclusions from Zagi Mountain, Khyber Pakhtunkwa, Pakistan 🇵🇰

a dear friend gave me these raw fluorites and i think there's a copper inclusion in one? (slides 1-4) u can see it best in the 3rd lower left corner. it's def not any dirt or anything cuz it's Inside the crystal but i've never seen a copper inclusion so i'm not sure, even tho it seems to just be copper ore in there. it was on a greenish backing (slide 9) so i thought it could be!!

other one is a really cool opaque fluorite

shown here first indoors under lamp light, then outside in direct sun, then indoors near a sunny window, and lastly outside in the shade (exhibits natural color-change in sunlight, and the color shift varies a bit depending on the type of sunlight, so i'm showing it with a variety of kinds of sunlight here)

This fluorite, with its beautiful pastel rainbow hues, originates from the summit cleft of the highest mountain in the Radstätter Tauern, the Weißeck (2,711 m), exposed to permafrost and humid acids. Well-formed crystals are rare.

Size: 4.5 x 2.7 x 2.4 cm

Origin: Weißeck, Lungau, Alps, Austria
