The works (books, reviews, CD rom...) only about fluorite (gitology, use, indutries...) are represented there.

 

 

It exists other works in whicl the fluorite is described but the essence of the subject is not constituted. Some of them are described in the heading

The History of Blue John Stone

Blue John is the only semi-precious stone still mined in Britain. This rare blue banded Fluorspar has captivated people for over 300 years. It was once Britain's most important decorative stone and a symbol to the rest of the world of British 18th Century manufacturing. Many priceless collections are held in royal, public and private collections around the world.
But Blue John remains deeply mysterious. For many years, Scientists and Historians have struggled with the many unanswered questions surrounding one of Brtain's most famous natural treasures. What is the source of the strange blue banding? Where does the name come from? Who was the first to discover it? and why is one small hillside in Derbyshire the only place where you can find it?
This fascinating documentary gets deep underground and explores rarely seen Blue John workings left frozen in time. It traces Blue John's rise to fame from the very beginnings by uncovering ancient documents, talking to the experts, piecing toether clues and revealing the answers. This is the definitive history of Blue John Stone.

Les Minéraux du Morvan

Le Hors Série N° XIII
Le plus gros numéro publié depuis 1995.
Avec 132 pages et plus de 300 photographies inédites.

-----------------------------------------------------
Le lecteur trouvera dans ce hors-série n°XIII du Règne Minéral une description des célèbres mines du Morvan (Voltennes, Maine, Argentolle et Les Molérats) mais aussi d’autres gisements ou indices (Alligny, Chitry, Marigny, Pierre-Perthuis, etc.) tout aussi intéressants.
Les nombreux filons de pegmatites et de quartz (béryl, grenat, quartz fumé), les skarns, les greisens à étain et quelques filons de fluorine mal connus, ainsi que quelques roches volcaniques (zéolites) offrent maintenant une nouvelle piste de recherches pour les amateurs. De même, les sables du cours d’eau du Mesvrin contiennent des zircons et des saphirs. Il est à parier qu’avec les méthodes analytiques de plus en plus sophistiquées, de vieux échantillons minéralogiques ou plus modernes, vont révéler des espèces rares ou nouvelles.
En fin de cet ouvrage, quelques amateurs ou anciens mineurs ont bien voulu nous raconter leurs découvertes, dont celle de la "Grande géode de barytine du Maine". Enfin, une visite du Musée d’Histoire naturelle d’Autun s’imposera avant que vous ne partiez sillonner les vallons et les forêts du Morvan grâce à notre itinéraire.

Les Fluorines du Tarn

Hors Série XII- Le Règne Minéral - 2006

Editions du Piat

21 x 30 cm, photos couleurs, plans N&B, schémas...

Disponibilité : Le Règne Minéral

Une incontestable réussite de 118 pages!
Ce numéro est un "must" et doit figurer, non seulement dans toutes les bibliothèques des fanatiques de la fluorine, mais aussi dans celles des collectionneurs minéralogistes.
C'est un témoignage comme on les aime, de l'activité minière d'une région. La partie "géologie" et "minéralogie" est amplement developpée et une iconographie excellente (je dirais "comme toujours") vient illustrer le tout.Le Tarn est connu dans le monde entier pour la qualité des cristallisations qu'il a fourni. Oui! hélas! Nous devons maintenant parler au passé car les différents gisements ont été "mis en sécurité".Ce numéro indispensable est disponible auprès du Règne Minéral

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, plans B&W,...

Disponibilité : 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. The discoveries done by the minors of Chaillac since more than 20 years allowed finding exceptional samples of barite, fluorite, goethite, cerussite, galena and pyromorphite. Chaillac is therefore a high place of the French mineralogy, and one of the rare worldwide deposit that contains a perfectly crystallized goethite ! (LRM
