﻿PINK 
  FLUOKITE 
  

  

  Rare 
  color 
  in 
  a 
  common 
  mineral, 
  — 
  seldom 
  observed 
  from 
  localities 
  other 
  than 
  

   Switzerland. 
  A 
  correspondent 
  made 
  a 
  special 
  trip 
  and 
  secured 
  for 
  us 
  a 
  limited 
  

   supply; 
  which 
  yielded 
  some 
  excellent 
  octahedral 
  cleavages. 
  

  

  A 
  specimen, 
  one 
  to 
  three 
  inches 
  from 
  tip 
  to 
  tip, 
  is 
  peculiarly 
  striking 
  on 
  account 
  

   of 
  the 
  unusual 
  color 
  and 
  its 
  resemblance 
  to 
  the 
  crystallized 
  Pink 
  Fluorite 
  from 
  St. 
  

   Gothard, 
  — 
  a 
  mineral 
  with 
  appreciated 
  value.

  Yuma
