Item Description

Asturias, Spain is one of the great Fluorite-producing areas in the world. The various mines in this area have given collectors some of the most colorful and visually memorable Fluorites ever found. This piece is from the famed La Viesca Mine featuring a tightly intergrown group of sharp, lustrous, cubic, gemmy purple Fluorite crystals, aesthetically perched atop Quartz on matrix. The entire Fluorite group measures 3.3 cm at its longest dimension. Overall the piece is in great shape, with only a few minor blemishes I can see with the naked eye. A very attractive representative specimen of these beloved Fluorites.
