Item Description
A huge plate of this classic old locality fluorite, much of which came out in the 1960s. We had similar pieces in Kay Robertson's collection with those dates, but this is from her nearby LA-peer Bob Trimingham. It later passed to me when I bought the Trimingham collection in 2012, and then sold 6 pallets of it to Rock for him to wholesale at the time. He kept things, and caught sleepers like this that I did not know to recognize at the time! We had a number of these, but no other so large. Large sharp crystals to 1 inch, with almost no damage - remarkable! REDDISH CORNER HIGHLIGHTS ARE DUE TO HEMATITE INCLUSIONS, MAKING THIS A UNIQUE FIND!
