Item Description
Stacked cubes of highly lustrous, translucent, color-zoned, fluorite form a striking CABINET specimen from a brand New Find from the much less well-known Esperanza Mine near Musquiz. The cubes are up to 3.5 cm wide. This showy and excellent piece is very nearly pristine, with only very trivial periphery wear. Highly representative of this new find. Interestingly, this fluorite has very slight purple fluorescence.
