Item Description

Gorgeous, vivid purple to light purple fluorite cubes to 1.5 cm are richly and aesthetically strewn on the 3-dimensional, mounded matrix on this classic specimen from the famous Mina Ojuela of Mexico. The cubes have great luster, transparency/translucency and some crystals (the lighter colored ones) have interesting modified corners and edges. The couple of fluorites with edgewear are noted, but are a very modest detraction to the overall quality and impact of this excellent piece. Ex Mullane Collectioin and certainly dates to the 1960s or 70s. Uncommon and choice material today.
