Sparkly Yellow and Purple Fluorescent Fluorite w/Pyrite from Spain 141.6g, Moscana Mine Crystal Specimen Mineral

Beautiful vibrant Yellow and purple Fluorite from the Moscona Mine in, Villabona, Asturias, Spain. Lovely sparkly pale yellow and of course some lavender purple, which is rare from the Moscana mine in. There is also pyrite on the yellow crystals. It does Fluoresce under long wave(pink) and short wave(yellow/orange). Long wave Black lights are much easier to come by. This piece would make a great addition for any collection. 141.6

Mine Info:
The Moscona Mine, located in the region of Llano de Solís, a town within Corvera de Asturias, was registered with concession number 29.811 in 1968 by the Minas de Miranda Company that rented it to Minersa in January, 1977. Thus it can be considered to be a ‘young’ mine on the Asturian Fluorite mining scene.

The present extent of the mining works covers about 5 square km. with an operating system that uses chambers and pillars on two levels. The extraction of the fluorite is carried out using conventional equipment (trucks and mechanical shovels) and a transport and loading system for the ore that was established for the first time in Spain by Minersa in the Cucona Mine, Villabona mining district.

From a mineralogical point of view, we are talking about a locality that has produced millions of crystallized specimens of fluorite, barite, dolomite and calcite. Other minerals complete the paragenesis, such as sulfides: sphalerite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, cinnabar, tetrahedrite, carbonates such as azurite and malachite, and the least common being aurichalcite. Other secondary lead minerals have also been identified, such as anglesite and recently, in the second level known as “El Plano” nice quartz crystals measuring several centimeters.

The beauty and the combinations between these minerals found at Moscona Mine mean that many collectors have them in their collections. It must be noted that the fluorite is found in crystal layers with nearly total predominance of the color yellow, although in a very few cases pockets with violet-blue crystals have been found. Another distinctive mineral for this deposit is the barite that often has a natural blue color while those crystals that were originally white can be exposed to the sun or another UV radiation source to turn them into blue.

Gem Lore:
Fluorite is one of the most collectible and highly sought after crystals in the world, loved by mineralogists and metaphysical healers alike. Its remarkable cubes are at times, almost too perfect to believe, emerging like magic treasure in matrix rock, or tightly stacked cube on cube like a futuristic city in miniature. Fluorite is an extraordinary creation of Nature, beautiful and luminous, soft and glassy, often vibrant in color, with an internal structure of order and perfection that resonates with the human mind like no other crystal.

Yellow Fluorite, also called Golden Fluorite, is a crystal of unity, intellect and creativity. It increases understanding, logic and intellectual ability, while boosting one’s imagination and resourcefulness. Stimulating the Solar Plexus Chakra, this mineral aligns the will with the mind, ensuring one can bring one’s ideas and goals into reality through action and intent.
