My father actually gathered quite a variety of pieces on hisseveral trips through the Cave in the Rock District.Best I can figure from his records, he gathered these pieces in the 1990s.He obtained them from a farmer who may have been a miner, and had small outbuildings full of fluorite.
From my father Frank Decaminada's collection.He was an avid rock collector in his second career,and not only amassed a huge collection of gems and minerals fromall over the world,but also left behind a vast library.

He was active in a number of mineral organizations includingthe Georgia Mineralogical Society andthe Southeast Federationof Mineralogical Societies.
