Item Description

A showy and RARE combination from this obscure mine, located near the famous Huayllapon Mine (rhodochrosite and fluorite). Very pretty, gemmy, water-clear, light mint-green fluorite cubes have nifty areas of blush-purple color. The densely intergrown, stepped-growth cubes rest on a RARE muscovite matrix consisting of tiny, pearlescent plates. Pristine, except for a trivial bit of periphery wear. Specimens of ANY species are RARE from this locale. Probably older material, but no proof. BRIGHT purple fluorescence. Ex Art Soregaroli Collection. Value??
