Item Description

Rare and aesthetic fluorite on quartz from an obscure old Spar Mountain locality. The well-placed, sharp cubes, to 2.7 cm, are a rich deep purple with waxy luster faces. The trident of quartz points at the top and flanking sparkly quartz fields are super accessories. The fluorites are deceving, as you can see the moderately translucent cubes are color-zoned, when strongly back lit. Ex Ross Lillie Collection # 0165 and self-collected by Ross in 1982 from abandoned works. Choice and rare fluorite and quartz combination material.
