I take pride in the hunt! The hunt for that rare piece, that unusaul specimen that is out there just waiting to be found and proudly displayed; when I find a specimen like this, I love to show it off to everybody! so without further due, here it is!! hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
It's a Fluorite from Madoc, Ontario, Canada!!! The Fluorite is associated with micro quartz rosettes, at least that is what it says on the label. It's from an old collection, from back in the fifties. What do you think? you like it? Enjoy it friends!
