Item Description

A beautiful piece of what has been dubbed "Tanzanite Fluorite" for their beautiful purple color in indoor lighting, which shifts to more of a blue-purple color in sunlight, reminiscent of the purple and blue colors seen in Tanzanite crystals. Please note that there is no Tanzanite on this specimen, the nickname is indicative of the color. This piece features a few fine quality, very well-formed, sharp crystals of gemmy richly colored Fluorite that show a combination of cubic and dodecahedral faces measuring up to 1.6 cm across on a Quartz covered matrix. Nearly all of the Fluorite crystals are in great condition, but one of them does have a contacted face on the front, but you don't notice it without looking right at it. These came out in 2017, and not since, so don't miss out, as we may never see them again.
