Fluorite
Bere Alston, Bere Ferrers, Tavistock, Devon, England, UK
Crystals to 20 mm
A fluorite with much history, from an unnamed Bere Alston mine.
This specimen, with crystals to 20mm, was probably collected in the early 1800s. It had been owned by three people who had minerals named after them and was once on display at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
Originally in the collection of Clarence Bement (1846-1923) , for whom bementite is named, his collection, said to be "the finest collection of minerals ever made" was purchased in 1900 by financier J.P. Morgan (beryl var morganite) and donated to the AMNH. There is a black arrow on the underside (painted on all display specimens) to guide staff in what the then curator, Louis Gratacrap, believed was the correct orientation for display.
Traded out of the AMNH, the specimen was subsequently in the collection of Dr Richard Hauck (hauckite).
An identical but larger specimen was included in the partial disposition of the Philadelphia Academy Collection suggesting that they formed part of a single pocket. (Author: ian jones)
