Hi Jordi and Mike,
I have never heard of the Johnson Fluorite mine. The specimen looks similar to fluorite either from the Galena King mine or the Frustration mine in the Manzano Mountains. My opinion would be that it's from the Galena King mine based on color and morphology. The Frustration mine produced similar looking specimens, but the color is usually closer to emerald green or seafoam green.
There is a photo on Mindat from the Galena King mine that is nearly identical to the one Mike has.

I agree Philip, thanks.
Am, I already changed the caption to the Galena King Mine ( https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/download.php?id=81618 )
Please let me know if you disagree.
