Item Description
A RARE and striking large combination specimen from the Remedios Mine at famed Taxco, mined for precious metals from prehispanic times. Fluorite is rare and pyrite is uncommon from Taxco. The mounded matrix is composed of glassy, translucent, gray to violet massive fluorite. Beautiful silky lustre sprays of super sharp dogtooth calcite spikes richly cover the matrix and are dramatically accented by patches of tiny, scintillating, iridescent pyritohedrons. An exceptional, RARE and impressive large 360-degree combination, that is esentially pristine. Extremely rare on the market in this remarkable presentation, quality and size. Valued at $1250-1500.
