Item Description

Attention Fluorite collectors! From a new find in early 2017, we acquired a small parcel of these exciting Fluorite specimens from a good friend in Pakistan who tells me that these attractive and interesting pieces are coming from Balochistan, which is probably best known for it's beautiful fiery "Alpine-type" Brookite specimens. This is certainly not what one would expect from this area, but I have seen a few specimens in the hands of other Pakistani dealers, and they all say they're coming from Baluchistan. This attractive small cabinet display specimen features sharp, well-formed, gemmy lilac colored cubes of Fluorite with slightly darker purple edges. The largest cube measures 2.1 cm on edge. No serious damage on the display side. We will have some more of these to offer in the coming weeks and months, and you will see colors ranging from purples, to blues to pinks to colorless and even some smoky hues! If you're a Fluorite collector, don't miss out on this eye-catching colorful specimen from an obscure new locality!
