Fluorite (classic material)

Item Description

A great quality, big, three-dimensional beautiful display specimen of Fluorite hosting many sharp and gemmy cubes with lovely dodecahedral modifications on the edges measuring up to 6.1 cm on edge free of matrix. When the crystals are backlit, the color really comes through showing rich purple and soft lilac hues, and you can see that there are distinct internal "phantoms" inside every crystal. One rarely sees such large and aesthetic groups like this from Berbes. The back of the specimen is not actually broken, but shows areas of partial re-crystallization and contact healing, but very little in way of actual cleaves or damage. The front side of the piece does have a few bruises, but it's in great shape overall and it has such wonderful form. Top Fluorite specimen from Berbes certainly rank with the finest quality Fluorites in the world. Priced at $6,000 retail for size, aesthetics, quality, gemminess and color.
