Fluorite

Size of the crystal: 10 mm. An euhedral crystal of fluorite. The dodecahedral transparent pale green crystal is fluorite. The surrounding white host is gangue quartz.

Recovered from a quartz vein associated with granite porphyry, a part of a parallel dike swarm formed at the last stage of a caldera complex intruded in an accretionary complex. Formed in the middle Paleocene (60 Ma).

Fluorite from this location was described in 1950.
