Fluorite, Stibiconite
Dugupi-Maanshan Sb deposit, Niujie, Weishan County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China
Miniature4.5x3.5x3cm50g
Light purple, strongly phosphorescent fluorite! Columnar structures represent perimorphs after stibnite, which completely vanished into bright white secondary antimony minerals that are present on this specimen as well. Not analyzed and preliminarily named here "stibiconite", there are strong hints that rarer secondary Sb-minerals, such as coquandite are present. Opaque white areas on the fluorite lining the stibiconite pockets may in fact be inclusions related to antimony content, as the "whitest" fluorite xls occur in immediate vicinity of the Sb-minerals. Bubbly transparent surface structures on the fluorite xls, (which often look like edge damages!) cause a green shortwave fluorescence with noticeable phosphorescence in the otherwise blue fluorescent fluorite. It is yet unclear if these are inclusions or surface coatings. The overgrowth on some fluorite consists mainly of light brown, corroded calcite scalenohedrons, aragonite (bright white balls) gypsum and secondary antimony minerals. Found 2009.

Fluorite, Calcite, Stibiconite with Gypsum
Dugupi-Maanshan Sb deposit, Niujie, Weishan County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China
Small Cabinet6.5x4x4cm145g
Light purple phosphorescent fluorite! Columnar structures represent perimorphs after stibnite, which completely vanished into secondary antimony minerals that are also present on this specimen. Not analyzed and preliminarily named here "stibiconite", there are strong hints that rarer secondary Sb-minerals, such as coquandite are present. Opaque cloudy to white areas, usually along the edges of the otherwise transparent fluorite xls may in fact be inclusions related to antimony content, as the "whitest" fluorite xls occur in immediate vicinity of amorphous secondary Sb-minerals. The inclusions, (which often look like edge damages!) cause a green shortwave fluorescence with noticeable phosphorescence in the otherwise blue fluorescent fluorite. The unilateral overgrowth on the fluorite column consists mainly of light brown, corroded calcite scalenohedrons, aragonite (bright white balls) gypsum and secondary antimony minerals. Found 2009.

Fluorite with Aragonite
Dugupi-Maanshan Sb deposit, Niujie, Weishan County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China
Miniature4.5x4x3cm70g
Light purple, strongly phosphorescent fluorite! Columnar structures represent perimorphs after stibnite, which completely vanished into bright white secondary antimony minerals that are present as minor accessories. Bubbly transparent surface structures on the fluorite xls, (which often look like edge damages!) cause a green shortwave fluorescence with noticeable phosphorescence in the otherwise blue fluorescent fluorite. It is yet unclear if these are inclusions or surface coatings. The overgrowth on some fluorite consists mainly of light brown, corroded calcite scalenohedrons, aragonite (bright white balls) gypsum and secondary antimony minerals. Found 2009.

Fluorite, Stibiconite, Calcite
Dugupi-Maanshan Sb deposit, Niujie, Weishan County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China
Small Cabinet5x2.5x2.5cm55g
Light purple, strongly phosphorescent fluorite. Bubbly transparent surface structures on the fluorite xls, (which often look like edge damages!) cause a green shortwave fluorescence with noticeable phosphorescence in the otherwise blue fluorescent fluorite. It is yet unclear if these are inclusions or surface coatings. Partially overgrown by peculiar yellow platy calcite.

Fluorite, Calcite, Stibiconite
Dugupi-Maanshan Sb deposit, Niujie, Weishan County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China
Cabinet10x4.5x4cm190g
Light purple fluorite with yellow coating of varying iridescence! The columnar structure of the aggregates represents a perimorph after stibnite that completely vanished into secondary antimony minerals which are also present on this specimen. Not analyzed and preliminarily named here "stibiconite", there are strong hints that rarer secondary Sb-minerals are present, such as coquandite. Opaque white areas, usually along the edges of the otherwise transparent fluorite xls may in fact be inclusions related to antimony content, as the "whitest" fluorite xls occur in immediate vicinity of amorphous secondary Sb-minerals. The inclusions, (which often look like edge damages!) cause a green shortwave fluorescence with noticeable phosphorescence in the otherwise blue fluorescent fluorite. Yellow effects are caused by whitish fluorescence shining through the yellow surface coating. The unilateral overgrowth on the fluorite column consists mainly of light brown, corroded calcite scalenohedrons, aragonite (bright white balls) and secondary antimony minerals. Found 2009.

Fluorite, Stibiconite, Calcite
Dugupi-Maanshan Sb deposit, Niujie, Weishan County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China
Miniature3-5 avg. 4cm300g
Lot of five specimens of dark purple fluorite with partial, copper colored to brown coating. The somewhat columnar structure of the specimens represents a fluorite perimorph after stibnite, with remnants sometimes still visible as a single white stibiconite pseudomorph in the center of the fluorite/calcite column. Unilateral overgrowth covers most of the fluorite, consisting of brown coated calcite xls in various stages of corrosion, partially recrystallized and often overgrown by other, yet unidentified and often fluorescent minerals. A colorful and quite unique combination!

Fluorite with Quartz, Pyrite, Dolomite
Shangbao Pyrite mine, Leiyang, Hunan Province, China
Miniature4.6x3.0x2.5cm34g
Absolutely clear colorless fluorite cubes with stepped corners (peripheral ones cleaved, otherwise undamaged) growing over a white matrix with pyrite cubes that can be watched through the fluorite "windows". Looks much better in person, difficult to photograph.

Fluorite with Quartz
Shangbao Pyrite mine, Leiyang, Hunan Province, China
Miniature4x4x2.5cm65g
Colorless transparent fluorite with purple phantoms. The stepped edges and the matte centers of the crystal faces somehow distract from the delicate appearance. Better in person, spectacular when backlit!

Fluorite
Xianghualing (Hsiang-hua-ling) Sn-polymetallic ore field, Linwu Co., Chenzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province, China
Small Cabinet5x4x2.5cm62g
Light green, glassy transparent with beveled edges, to 2cm along edge. Undamaged except for one smaller x in the periphery. Better in person, difficult to photograph because the xls are highly transparent.
