 | "A. Stevenson Collection #425b. Fluorrichterite is a rare mineral, known from only one location. It is found near Wilberforce, Ontario in a skarn formation. The skarn is a term for a rock that is the product of a chemically unusual magma body that has intruded into and recrystallized a "dirty" limestone. The "dirty" limestone is not composed of just calcite, CaCO3, like "clean" limestone but is mixed with silicates and/or phosphates, etc. This mixing of the hot chemically unusual liquids and volatiles of the magma with the different minerals of the "dirty" limestones produces some interesting and rare minerals after all the recrystallizing is done. One of these is of course, fluorrichterite." Location: Wilberforce, Ontario, Canada
