Fluorite is clear and colorless in its pure form, but defects and impurities endow it with an array of colors, in both fluorescent and white light, a number of which can occur in a single crystal. Those famous color zones are one of the many features that have drawn people to collect fluorite, giving it a rich history that spans cultures and millennia. Colorful fluorite has been carved into all form of vases, cups, utensils, and decorator items that have historically commanded astronomical prices. The few fluorite artifacts preserved from days of old provide a glimpse into the lives of the ancients and open questions about their sources for fluorite as well as what was known of the mineral's properties. Flourite is also an important ore. Its use as a flux for making steel has been long known, and its optical properties make it an important component in high-end lens systems. Fluorite is also man's most significant source for fluorine, which enjoys innumerable industrial applications. The commercial demand means fluorite is readily mined from places across the globe. Fluorite is generally deposited by hydrothermal fluids, which can traverse many rock types. The mineral is thus found in a variety of geologic environments and the crystals reflect that variety. From simple cubes to incredibly complex crystals, colorful fluorite occurs in association with flashy species such as galena, quartz, calcite, sphalerite, and rhodochrosite.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. No Jacket. Jeff Scovil; Robert Weldon; Jesse La Plante (illustrator). 1st Edition. With fifteen articles devoted to the subject, coverage of the gem is unparalleled by another publication. Localities are featured in nine of the articles, ranging in size from the two page feature on St. Anne s Mine in Zimbabwe, to the multi-page treatments done on Pakistan, Japan, Colorado, Russia, Mongolia among others. The locality articles feature stunning photographs, colorful maps, crystal models and locality photos, made all even more spectacular on the large format pages. Jeff Scovil's photography fills the majority of the book, something everyone can be happy about. Contributions by: Dudley Blauwet, Dave Bunk, Ryan Bowling, Jaroslav Hyrsl, H.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. No Jacket. Various (illustrator). 1st Edition. While the ancients referred to many purple stones as Amethyst, today the term is more exclusively applied to quartz in the violet spectrum. The gemstone has long been assigned spiritual and mystical properties including protection from inebriation. However, this like-named volume offers no protection from the intoxicating power of Amethyst - a collectible that is still very much collectable.

Simmons; Joachim Zang; Gary Zito; Berthold Ottens; Ed Raines; Stefan Weiss; Herwig Pelckmans; George F. Kunz; Gilla Simon; John Smolski (illustrator). 1st Edition. Populations in both eastern and western cultures have been mining, trading, and carving garnets for millennia. Named for its likeness to the flesh and seeds of the pomegranate (Latin granatus), garnet is most commonly thought of as a red gemstone, but it actually occurs in all colors of the spectrum. In fact, garnet is a complex group of fifteen separate mineral species, which are sometimes hard to differentiate visually and more often than not occur together in the same specimen. Six of these species - almandine, andradite, grossular, pyrope, spessartine, and uvarovite - are regularly featured in mineral cabinets and jewelry. Garnets are also valued for much more than their aesthetics: they are important rock-forming minerals enhancing our understanding of geologic events; they are commercially valuable as abrasives; they are part of an 'indicator' mineral suite used by geologists to locate diamond deposits; and they are great crystallographic examples with their textbook-perfect dodecahedral shapes. Yet even with this abundance, truly fine garnet specimens and large gemstones are surprisingly difficult to find. Contributions by: Lothar Ackermann, Marco Amabili, Marc B.
