Fluorite (GEM quality) (169.79 grams)

Item Description

Wise Mine Fluorites are incredibly well-known around New England, but they are rarely seen on the market these days. These specimens are well-known for the excellent form, size, rich color and gemminess. This piece is a good, strong emerald color octahedron of Fluorite with partial surface etching and excellent internal gemminess. The crystal is gemmy enough that it could yield a very good sized gemstone - conservatively 100 carats - which priced at a mere $20 per carat could be valued at $2,000. The piece is complete on the display side, but it's not complete on the back. Specimen weight is 169.79 grams (848.95 carats).
