Item Description

Here we have a showy and aesthetic display specimen of the classic Fluorites from Berbes featuring a sharp, gemmy, blue and purple "phantom" cubic crystal group measuring 2.2 cm sitting atop "stubby" Quartz crystals on matrix. There are additional Fluorites on the lower right corner of the specimen, which don't show as much of the "phantom" color zoning, but are still good quality. The main Fluorite group has a small "fisheye" nick on the corner, but the crystal is really gemmy and eye-catching since it's sitting so beautifully atop the specimen. The best Fluorites from Berbes are among the finest quality examples of the species in the world from the standpoint of gemminess/clarity and luster. Priced in the inventory at $800.
