Item Description

If you're a Fluorite collector, be sure to check this one out as they are from a new discovery in 2019 and they honestly do not resemble any Fluorites we've seen from any other locality. We've had a few of these pieces to offer the last couple of years, but we were very excited when a new pocket arrived just a few weeks ago. The material is just good of quality as the previous Fluorites and they have the same mysterious color combinations. This small cabinet features many sharp, well-formed, cubes with good internal gemminess. The color is odd as they can show a bit of a lilac hue in indoor lighting, but when you take them outside they go nearly colorless, but they have these interesting "smoky quartz" colored cores. This mix of rarely seen hues in Fluorite combined with the excellent crystallization makes this a must have for any fan of Fluorite. Overall, the piece is in great condition, though there a few nicks and chips here and there. The largest cube measures 2.0 cm on edge. Priced at $500.
