Item Description

A classic and excellent older fluorite from the famous mines at Naica. This striking, well-formed, compound cuboctahedron is limpid, colorless and has water-clear to lightly frosted faces. Complete all-around and essentially pristine. The contact is at the base. Fluorites of this very fine quality came out in the 1970s and 80s. Comes with a Benny Fenn label with a $300 price. Modest purple fluorescence. Ex James Zigras Mexico Collection. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
