Esta semana en #GeocienciasEnELCole Javier Luque del Villar nos va a contar la cantidad de minerales que usamos en nuestra vida diaria. #AbrimosHilo 🧵

#Fluorite: a honkin’ massive cube of calcium fluorite with that particular dull-waxy translucence I wanna pet so bad.
No UV light to see if it’d fluoresce pretty colours for me.
From Nikolaevskiy Mine in Russia where hot sulfide solutions crystallized in limestone caverns.
