Item Description

An outstanding and striking gem fluorite crystal from the famed Huayllapon Mine at Pasto Bueno, source of world-class rhodochrosite and hubnerite specimen. This very glassy and lustrous bi-colored crystal is mostly a beautiful seafoam-green and is nicely accented with subtle purple edge phantoms and purple in the interior. The crystal is a stunning highly modified cube accented with fabulous stepped-growth faces. The frontal presenatation face is pristine. Bright purple fluorescence. Ex Lloyd Tate Collection.
