Floaters of Rutile Paramorph After Anatase from Brazil RSPA02 Rhodochrosite with the main Fluorite crystal

with the main Fluorite crystal exhibiting classic dark phantom bandings

Exhibiting slight inclusions of Byssolite at the tip that turns up as green

indicative of an unknown inclusion

they were irradiated by the decay of radioactive minerals in the surrounding basalts

With most botryoidal Fluorites coming from India

Floaters of Rutile Paramorph After Anatase from Brazil RSPA02 Rhodochrosite with the main Fluorite crystalIntuition, Manifestation, Courage The Rutile Paramorph after Anatase is a true marvel of the mineral world. As a paramorph, this specimen is a pseudomorph with the same composition as the original crystal, caused by a phase transformation. In simpler terms, the crystal structure of the original mineral has been replaced by another mineral with the same chemical composition. Paramorphism is a rare occurrence in nature, making specimens like this highly
