5shr ((FLUORITE with CALCITE)), Ophir Hill Mine, Ophir District, Tooele County, Utah, 12 x 6 x 5 cm, Cabinet | |
Here is a red orange fluorescent Calcite, This is a same occurance that has the Scheelite. Looking closely I was surprised to find cubic Fluorite, which is not usually found and much more uncommon than the Calcite or even Scheelite. The Fluorite is also the same non color as the Calcite and blends even though the largest crystal is to 7 or 8 mm. Still this mine is not accessible due to private ownership not allowing any access and then I believe the state has also closed this and the Hidden Treasure Mine, which is nearby. |
