Item Description

Muzquiz fluorites have a very distinctive look, unlike nearly any other locality. This very showy and classic specimen has near transparent, ice-like, purple cubes with characteristically pronounced stepped-growth faces and very pretty, darker phantoms at the crystal edges. The grape-purple edge phantoms over the lighter purple cubes with nearly colorless cores are a classic Tule Mine habit. The bit of bruising and periphery wear have minimal impact on this excellent piece, that displays well from either side. BETTER IN PERSON!
