Those are nice! I also get some flourite with pyrite & chalcopyrite inclusions locally. But they have more a purple color.

Thank you EU! You speaking of Swedish Fluorite? I'd love to see that. I'll have to find the photos of this specimen, full size. It's a very attractive piece! I'll also be working on uploading videos on here. Videos are really beneficial with Fluorite specimens.

Gotta love those Kentucky/Illinois Fluorite deposits, awesome stuff. I had a friend who was finding pyrite replaced brachs up that way.

That sounds awesome P.Allen!!

Yes. I collect Swedish minerals exclusively, which results in not many great specimens such as yours. And having to collect most yourself.
I'll grab a pic in the next week or two. I have it stacked away in a box somewhere.

I'd really enjoying seeing some of your collection. Sweden is a very interesting area, geologically!

I'll grab some pics when I can. Geologically interesting for sure. But the ice age wasn't very kind to our bedrock, nor specimens...
