Fluorite octahedrons (rare Colorado) Allen Dillwith Coll.

Item Description

RARE and sculptural intergrown fluorite octahedrons from an unknown Jefferson County Front Range pegmatite. The impressive large octos, to 5.0 cm, have a striking, rough oriented surface texture. The opaque prism faces are a very dark purple. The two broken tips reveal, that the interiors are a lustrous, translucent pretty violet. The attachment at the bottom shows, that the crystal cores are partially lustrous, translucent green. Fascinating and rare Colorado fluorite from the Allen Dillwith Collection. A MUST for the species or Colorado collector! Said to come from "near Golden," and obtained from the field collector. Highly unusual!
