Item Description

Pink Fluorite (along with red) is arguably the most desirable color for the species. Good gem quality pink Fluorites are always in demand. This is a wonderful miniature Fluorite specimen from the famous pegmatite near Nagar. This specimen came out in the late 1990s. It features a good-sized, gemmy, sharp, well-formed octahedron of Fluorite with a wonderful internal pink color with a small amount of attached bladed Muscovite on the base. No damage on the front / display side, but it is contacted on the back. VERY gemmy even without backlighting! As with many pieces from Pakistan, the value of Nagar Fluorites has risen over the years, and this piece would make a nice addition to a Fluorite suite or a collection of Pakistani minerals.
