Quentin knows Timmy likes Fluorites, so he gave him this one from his claim.

Dear CP:
Those are certainly some nice fluorite specimens. I was laughing out loud reading about the ones with goose bumps because it was too cold. While prospecting for uranium, a couple of years ago, I came across some "hot fluorite" specimens in float as I looked for the orebody. The sandstone was impregnated with purple fluorite and uranium ore. Here's a photo of the float that I encountered and it really sets of the Geiger counter!

Very nice Johnny,
Thanks, we try to keep them warmer now though. That sure is a "hot" purple too......don't burn your finger! So now we have hot and cold fluorites in here. Just don't let em' play together or the temp change could crack em both! Thanks for sharing the pic Johnny.....and how did the uranium prospecting go that year?

This one is a tiny lil Colorado fluorite we found recently in an unexpected local.
Very small and looks clear with a nice cube form and some purple or blue phantoms. So small it's hard to tell which color. -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

Here is another sweet Fluorite combo specimen out of Teller county. This piece contains a big Green and pink Fluorite on the bottom, Microcline with tiny quartz crystals, a Hematite after Siderite (pseudomorph), and a sweet Amazonite on the side. Its approx. 3" long and 1 1/2" tall.
Here are a few pictures of different views. This one will clean up nicely!!! You can learn more about Colorado Fluorites on our "Colorado Gems and Minerals" section of the website. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

This is a piece I found somewhere in North Park, CO. I think it has Calcite attached.
