Fluorite crystals with small inclusions of sphalerite. The fluorite has the typical blue fluorescence, but at the base of most crystals there is nice yellow/orange fluorescence of the sphalerite. I’m not sure it is sphalerite, but I think it is the most probable suspect… The yellow fluorescence is quite weak,but clearly visible. If you know better about this locality let me know. The field of view in the macro 1 and 2 is about 2 and 1cm, respectively.
