Item Description
Razor-sharp, lustrous and translucent, deep purple octahedrons of fluorite (to 9 mm), isolated and peppered on both sides of the LARGE CABINET wedge of stark white contrasting quartz matrix, along with a few pastel-green fluorite octos. These New Mexico fluorites are so distinctive - you know exactly what they are at a glance, with their pretty sharpness and contrast. Unfortunately, not around like they once were, specimens like this are now rare. THIS HAS INTENSE COLOR! Ex Franz Saller collection of Bavaria, and about 20-30 years old.
