Item Description

A gorgeous small cabinet specimen from the Esperanza Mine in Múzquiz, Coahuila, Mexico featuring a group of highly lustrous, sharp, well-formed, very rich purple colored cubes of Fluorite measuring up to 2.0 cm on edge, free of matrix. When backlit, the crystals have superb internal gemminess, and you can see the deep purple color is visible on the outermost edges, and the color is much lighter towards the central portions. Very good quality, as I can't find any major damage, though some small imperfections are visible. A lovely example of this well-known material.
From the collection of David L. Stoudt.
