Item Description
Intergrown cubes of highly lustrous, translucent, color-zoned, purple fluorite form a striking CABINET specimen from a recent find from the much less well-known Esperanza Mine near Musquiz. The cubes are up to 6.5 cm wide and they have very well developed stepped-growth faces. This showy and excellent piece is pristine. 'Very highly representative of this new find. Interestingly, this fluorite has very slight purple fluorescence. This impressive piece has multiple display views. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
