Item Description

Naica is well known for its green Fluorties, but purple crystals are not nealry as common. This piece hosts lovely purple color, GEM quality, sharp, modified cuboctahedral crystals of Fluorite associated with sulfides at the base. This piece is not from a recent find at the mine, but actually about 35 years ago (late 1970s). The largest Fluorite crystal measures 1.5 on edge, and for the quality, associations, and overall aesthetics, it is a nice small cabinet from this incredible mine. Ex Art Soregaroli Collection. Priced at $900. No notable damage I can see.
