One of Mexico’s biggest mines, the Ojuela Mine was worked for rich secondary silver ores since 1600. Fluorites uncovered here have distinct characteristics not seen in other fluorite localities— usually glassy, colourless-to-purple cubic or tabular crystals that are etched or modified from natural dissolution, and glowing a strong red fluorescence under UV light.

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.

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!).

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.
