Item Description

Beautiful, classic, sharp, lustrous, gemmy, purple "phantom" cubes of Fluorite measuring up to 6 mm are associated with "stacked" prismatic crystals of whitish colored Calcite measuring up to 1.2 cm long aesthetically sitting on matrix. Great quality, and this particular color of Fluorite is rarely seen from this classic old mine in Bavaria. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#3902). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017).
