In this heading works are presented in which the fluorite is approached in a considerable way. Thus you will not find the references of some (excellent) mineralogical guides because the fluorite is treated only on one page.

On the other hand, of the works in which it is question of gitology, particular crystallizations of fluorite, or mineralogical associations... appear in this list.

Few works are presented here, and this heading only requires to develop. Do not hesitate to subject your ideas...

National Museums Scotland

Northern England has long been famous for the great diversity of its mineral deposits and for the variety and beauty of minerals found within them. The region has yielded some of the world’s most spectacular specimens of fluorite, calcite, barite and witherite, together with countless fine examples of many other species. Northern England is remarkable for the comparative abundance of several minerals, first found here, but which remain great rarities elsewhere.
This book is unique in bringing together the geological context of the region's mineral deposits, the long and varied history of mining and the role of collectors and dealers, as an essential backdrop to a celebration of the minerals themselves. Richly illustrated with colour photographs of some of the finest specimens in the collections of the Natural History Museum, London, with additional images from the British Geological Survey, National Museums Scotland, Edinburgh, and other related organisations, this book is an important and beautiful work of reference which will appeal equally to geologists, mineralogists and anyone with an interest in the natural heritage of Northern England.

It is unmistakably THE reference book on the Chinese mineralogy. All the deposits are described, accompanied with a very complete iconography. So, for each of them, we can know the paragenesis and so identify easily the specimens which come from it.
A fluorite fanatic must have this work in his library even if the other minerals are described there!

Les Gisements de Fluorite et de Barytine de Chaillac (Indre)

Hors Série X- Le Règne Minéral - 2004

Editions du Piat

21 x 30 cm, colors photos, maps...

Availability: Le Règne Minéral

The literature that retrieves itself to the minerals of Chaillac is as sporadic as the news that circulate with the collectors. Well that Alfred Lacroix mentioned in 1901 beautiful crystals of goethite, it’s necessary to wait the beginning of the eighties for that the other minerals at last are described. The recent works of geologists of Orléans University, reinforced by analysises renseign us enormously on the organisation and the position of the minerals within the different deposits. Chaillac is therefore a high place of the French mineralogy.
