Fluorite & Quartz
Blanchard Mine, Bingham, New Mexico
6.85 cm x 4.3 cm x 4.0 cm
Here is a beautiful and unusual fluorite combo for the Blanchard Mine.
This single large fluorite cube has a pale blue-green coloring.
It appears mostly light green and is light blue up near the top edge.
Depending on how it is viewed, it can even look teal in color.
The single crystal of fluorite is very large for the Blanchard, at just over 4 cm wide.
The fluorite has micro-stepped bevels on it's exposed face.
On this large cube, are very large quartz crystals, up to 2.8 cm, and many are double terminated.
There is one damaged quartz crystal at the bottom left in the photos,
but does not take away from the overall beauty of this specimen.
A very appealing and unusual specimen from this mine.
