Fluorite from the La Barre mine, Saint-Jacques-d'Ambur, Puy-de-Dôme, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France is known the world over for its amazing colours and zonation. This small miniature specimen displays the classic pale blue colour with a slight hint of zoning in the outer couple of millimetres. The crystal, which measures 3 cm on edge, is missing its lower edge and the rear is absent, tapering slightly from one end to the other. The main front face is lovely and glassy, internally translucent, with a super baby blue colour.
