Mineral: Fluorite with Baryte and Quartz
Locality: Berbes mining area, Berbes, Ribadesella, Comarca Oriente, Principality of Asturias (Asturias), Spain
Dimensions: 8.6 × 8 × 3.4 cm

Description: One of the myths of Berbes is that there are also light blue fluorites like those from La Viesca and this piece is one of the very few proofs of this. The characteristic leafy Baryte clearly proves its origin, as well as a small violet rim of 'Berbes color' on the edges of the crystals and small doubly terminated quartzes on the rear of the piece.
