Coming at you this Memorial Day with some of our new minerals!

Both of these beauties are fluorite specimens even though they look quite different. Pure fluorite is colorless, but trace impurities and radiation can alter how the crystals absorb light. Green is often associated with the presence of copper, while purple is associated with a radioactive element like yttrium.

P.S. - The museum is open today!

📸 #1: Atacocha Mine, Pasco Province, Peru
📸 #2: Elwood Mine, Smith County, Tennessee
