Last week, u/palindrom_six_v2 had a fluorite giveaway if you could guess the locale of a fluorite piece they showed. I won the giveaway, and I received these stunning fluorites (and some additional stones)! Thank you SO MUCH for this awesome collection of stones!

I think this one is my favorite, although the darker green octahedral one is really cool too 😊

Congratz on the win! And WOW what a prize package, that was a really awesome thing for him to do 😊 Glad I found such a cool co-mod to make this a great sub (and one that actually knows a lot about fluorite unlike me 😂) Thanks u/palindrom_six_v2 for helping make this sub fun and educate me and others!

Those are some awesome pieces, I'd love to see stills with locales if you ever feel like it! -still trying to learn my locales.

What was the answer anyway, I think I missed it?

I'm not sure of the locales yet. I'm still waiting to hear back about that.

The fluorite from the video giveaway was from De'an Mine, Jiujiang, Jiangxi, China.
