One of the best-known Spanish fluorite locality, the Berbes mining area near Ribadesella, Asturias, has been a favourite of Spanish fluorite collectors for producing glassy specimens with striking coloured zonings, often appearing in beautiful shades of purple, violet and lilac, and in some rare examples, pink or blue, alongside contrasting white barite, quartz or calcite.
All videos and photos shown are taken with an iPhone or Canon camera and are not edited or enhanced. Each specimen is unique and may look different under different lighting.
A fun little fluorite with incredibly deep purple colour that appears pitch black when viewed as is. But, when backlit, the edges of this Victory Mine fluorite glows vibrantly with vivid purple and bright magenta hues! Curiously, the centre of this specimen remains dark and impenetrable even by the brightest of light.
A well-formed, complete fluorite specimen with little to no damage (remarkable condition for this 20-years old find!).

A classic example from the Emilio Mine, this colourless specimen is completely glassy, with blue zonings and chalcopyrite inclusions throughout. The translucent appearance and glassy lustre is further enhanced by its beautiful etchings and “digital growths”-like formation.
Locality: Emilio Mine, Asturias, Spain

This Emilio specimen is the epitome of when chaos co-exists with order. On its front face, numerous colourless cubic fluorite crystals grow without restraint on a bed of sparkly, silvery quartz. On its side, the neat, smooth surface characteristic of an Emilio specimen emerges, complete with the coveted blue and purple zonings and chalcopyrite inclusions classic to this locality. Truly the best of both worlds.
