Description

Jalingo Mine, Nigeria

Nigerian fluorites are increasingly appreciated by collectors for their attractive colours, sharp crystal forms and distinctive zonings. Crystals can display vivid purple, green, blue and colourless zones. Nigerian fluorite is commonly associated with quartz and other hydrothermal minerals. Fine, well-formed crystals can be difficult to obtain consistently, making well-preserved material from notable Nigerian localities particularly desirable among collectors.
