Fluorite with Celestine (ex Gary Weaver Collection)

Item Description

A good representative cabinet specimen from the Tule Mine in Múzquiz featuring bladed and blocky, off-white colored crystals of Celestine sitting atop with very gemmy, purple cubic crystals of Fluorite. The piece is not damage free, as there are some contacted areas, but it's still showy and eye-catching for what it is. Please note that it appears the Celestine on this specimen has been partially reinforced with a bit of super glue. From the collection of Gary Weaver (1944-2019), an electrical engineer who worked for Hughes Aircraft in California. After retiring to Prescott, Arizona in the early 2000s, Gary rekindled his childhood love of minerals, amassing a collection of roughly 2000 specimens, focusing on localities in which he and his wife had lived or visited (Mexico, Peru and the western / southwestern United States).
