Perhaps, I don't have any permission to edit the description, but I corrected the label of that specimen.
Here is one of my phantom collections, collected in Summer 2010.

Of course you can edit your own postings, and thank you for making that change. Your fluorite, by the way, is exquisite (lovely!). A great piece.

So what do I know? A little about minerals, virtually nothing about the mechanics of the Forum.

Some minerals' colours are not easy to take it in picture. a example is the "blue fluorite" form Blanchard Mine.

The colour of this picture was edited and it is close to the colour I see |

My fluorite specimen number has been increased and become the largest number of my collection. I like the effects of fluorites, such as colours (change), fluorescenc and phantoms. Those are thier own signature.

almost 1year, I have not been here.
Milky white creedite specimens seem like more rare than purple ones. It looks like a wedding flower bouquet.

Thank you, Herman.
yes, I love phantom effect so much, not only fluorite, but also other minerals like calcite, Baryte, quartz, and garnet.
your example is good. I remember that the phantom effect is so called "alien eye", right?
I have the same loaction fluorite specimen like yours, but it is a thumbnail size.

Fluorite

less than 1.25" X 1.25" X 1.25"
sorry for that I cannot prove the detail of dimensions. |
