Item Description

RARE, large and impressive large fluorite from this famed lead-zinc mine. Most fluorites from here are the highly desirable pink or green, but this imposing modified octahedron is a colorless gem! Flattened terminations and edges, satin luster faces and inclusions add a striking visual aspect to this exceptional rarity. The noted contacting actually has very minimal bruising. Interestingly, no fluorescence. This is a remarkable, large and very rare large colorless fluorite octahedron from the renowned Huanzala Mine. Choice material from the Allen Dillwith Collection. A MUST for the species or locality collector!
