Sweet day on the digs!
Check out some of the sweet purple Fluorite I got while out digging with Anita. This small Fluorite plate is going to clean up nicely. After cleaning it off more, they look to be very deep purple.

Can you see what I'm seeing in this pic? If I'm not mistaken - Double refraction. Cooler than the other side of the pillow! What a coincidence, I just learned (last night) about this effect in my Rocks and Minerals Guide which I bought two days ago. Not all crystals have this effect. The crystal splits light into two rays: Ordinary, which doesn't deviate and Extraordinary which shifts when the crystal is rotated. Creates that wicked cool effect. Neat pic!!! -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |
