Item Description

A striking and sculptural 6.2 cm cluster of lustrous, intergrown, stepped-growth, limpid pretty light mint-green and colorless fluorite cuboctahedrons with frosted faces is dramatically set atop splendent metallic-gray, melted-look galena cuboctahedrons. The fluorite cluster is complete all-around and pristine and the noted bruising to the galenas is certainly only a modest detraction. Classic and very aesthetic combination material from the famous mines at Naica. Valued at $1250 by the former dealer and worth it. Purple fluorite fluorescence. BETTER in person.
