Worked from the early 1970s until its closure in 1999, the Frazer’s Hush mine is renowned for producing arguably the best purple fluorite in the world. The fluorite specimens are particularly noted for its super gemmy, very saturated purple hues, typically forming sharp cubes and penetration twins, and sometimes associated with galena.

A big, single crystal from the Jalingo Mine with juicy grape purple colour and thick green zonings- an unexpected yet unique contrast. Completely glassy with remarkable clarity, especially for its size! Light passes through easily, brightening up the entire fluorite when held near a light source.

Despite most Llamas Quarry finds being on the smaller side, usually with just one or two fluorite crystals, this specimen is generously and fully covered with the characteristic bevelled edged, tabular crystals Llamas Quarry is known for. Despite its quantity, the quality holds fast— most of the crystals are clear, glassy and lustrous, some with beautiful zonings. Some of the crystals even grow together to form a shape resembling a heart. Under different lighting, the specimen appears to be soft plum pink to violet purple colours.
Locality: Llamas Quarry, Duyos, Spain
Measures: Approx. 5.9 x 3.5cm

Appearing as a dark blue fluorite crystal at first glance, with some backlight, it really comes alive- displaying wondrous multicoloured zonings of blue, maroon, yellow and purple. Not many, if any, other fluorite from other localities have displayed such a wide colour spectrum as this.
