Thanks Tobi. I have another one from this same location ( https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/download.php?id=92584 ) with much larger crystals, but I really like the calcite accent on this piece.

I like it too. The other specimen is also very aesthetic but I would prefer the one above because of the contrasting calcite crystals. However, both very nice, Choir is also on my fluorite wish list ;-)

Although the Minerva #1 Mine is famous for it's exquisite color-zoned fluorites, it also produced some remarkable specimens of barite, strontianite, witherite, and benstonite. The little barite shown below was collected in the 1960s and is one of my favorites from this location.
