Item Description
Several attractive, virtually colorless, GEM quality, sharp, lustrous, intergrown cuboctahedral crystals of Fluorite associated with "feathery" white crystals of Calcite. This piece is not from a recent find at the mine, but actually over 30 years ago (late 1970s). The largest Fluorite crystal group measures 2.4 cm across, and for the quality, association, and overall aesthetics, it is a nice miniature from this incredible mine. The piece came from the well known collection of Richard A. Kosnar.
