Summary

Description
English: Calcite, Fluorite
Locality: Moscona Mine, Solís, Llanera, Villabona mining area, Asturias, Spain (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 13.8 x 13.6 x 6.6 cm.
From a large private collection of Spanish minerals, a cabinet-sized version of something we normally only see as smaller specimens. A thin veneer of limestone matrix is the host for a plate of glassy and gemmy, yellow-amber, fluorite crystals to 8 mm across. A later generation of lustrous and translucent, ivory colored calcite crystals, to 5 cm in length and of complex combinations of rhombohedral and prismatic habits, has almost completely covered the earlier fluorite. Very nice color and sculptural contrast make this one of the better large examples from this locality, and quite distinct in its combination from calcite of other locales.
