Looking at this Heights Mine fluorite I see a lovely transparent twin (crystals have hexoctahedral corners), with one twin member elongate (L/W ca 2) and the other tabular (L/W ca 0.5).

Hi,

Two elongated specimens.

The first one is from England (NNHM London : old fashion style museum but some incredible specimens. Have a look if you go to London).

The second one is from France (Fontsante Mine, Tanneron). An amazing locality for diversity of shapes and colors, You will quickly understand I am addicted to this mine.
