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 5.0 cm wide and they have intense stepped-growth faces. This showy and excellent piece has only trivial corner wear and just a bit of modest periphery wear. Very highly representative of this new find and has multiple display views. Interestingly, this fluorite has very slight purple fluorescence. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
