Color-zoned Fluorite (classic locale) ex Belsky Coll.

Item Description

Fluorite specimens from this classic French locale are now difficult to find, as the mine closed in 1977. This very striking CABINET cluster of cubes is composed of a RARE color-zoned combination, olive-green to golden-amber crystals with beautiful teal-blue color zoning. The translucent crystals are highlighted by a fabulous, water-clear, GEM corner. The pretty teal-blue color zoning and interior refractions are really accentuated in this glassy area. A corner cleave on the major crystal is noted here, but overall this is still a showy and rare quality because The large basal cube is 8.8 x 7.2 cm, which is very large for the locale, and so you can forgive a little damage if the price is right. BONUS: SUPER purple fluorescence. Ex Howard Belsky Collection.
