    Here’s a nice fluorite specimen from a part of the world that I had no idea produced such things. The xls are frosty white modified cubic faces with a just a hint of purple phantoms. This is another world-class location with a great number of species, but with an important historical perspective. The silver and gold mines of Laurium, Greece financed the Greek-Persian wars and main era of ancient Greek History. Just another fun fact.
