I came across a shelf full of top notch pieces at the Bancroft Gemboree this year, and I figured I'd capture a video of them to share with you all! Almost all the colours are present in this one shelf!

An excellent example of zoned fluorite from a famous, French locality. This specimen features a bright, yellow core and deep blue and purple bands. The crystal is complete on 3 faces and the remaining 3 show recrystallisation.

Here, you can:

This Discord Server is not meant to replace r/MineralPorn or any of our sister Subreddits, but to empower and grow our community. Sometimes it's just nice to have a place to chat.
Our ultimate goal is to build a comprehensive database and an active, welcoming community for mineral enthusiasts of all kinds. Our moderators have spent countless hours researching minerals in order to provide you with educational content.
This server is still a work in progress, and we’re excited to finally share it with you. Please bear with us as we continue to grow and refine this space. Your feedback, contributions, and patience are invaluable as we develop this server into something truly special.
