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, Calcite, Stibiconite

Cabinet10x8x7cm680g
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.

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.

Dugupi-Maanshan Sb deposit, Niujie, Weishan County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China
Small Cabinet8x7.5x5cm280g
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.
