NOTE: According to a Chinese geologist (July 2024) this is NOT the origin of the famous tanzanite fluorites. Therefore, this kind of fluorite is found in limestone deposits. They came from "Haixia Limestone Mine, Meihu Town, Dehua County". This is an underground mine, run actually by the Haixia cement company, and the whole mountain beneath is nearly emptied.
