Item Description

An impressive and rich large mounded matrix fluorite from this well-known Asturias locale. Dazzling dense, rippled stepped-growth faces highlight these beautiful lavender, gemmy and lustrous cuboctahedrons. The prominent central crystal is 3.0 cm across. Nearly pristine with only a bit of bruising on the upper right corner, which is certainly only a modest detraction. Faint purple fluorescence. Ex Paul Zerfass Collection # 496. The piece displays beautifully, as the base has been sawed. This is a classic color, but a RARE crystal style from this locale.
