A very clear, fully transparent Fluorite is nicely perched on a mineral-rich matrix that includes clusters of Austinite and bright green Cu Austinite. This Fluorite has the rare vivid bright red fluorescence which is quite unusual for the mineral from any other find. Also rather unusual is this Fluorite has smooth, glassy transparent faces, this is very rare at Ojuela where most Fluorite has stepped faces and is more translucent than transparent. A super esthetic miniature this is in perfect undamaged condition by naked eye, it takes a 20X magnification to reveal a tiny bruise. Way better in person and the UV response is as good as I have ever seen.

A small miniature plate sprinkled with many sharp yellow-green Ludlamite crystals and tiny Pyrites as well. An older specimen from the Blackbird Mine (Idaho) with a label from Dawson's Minerals (California) dealership from the 1961-1979 era. In fine condition the tiny Ludlamites are gemmy and look great under magnification. An affordable example.
