Item Description
An elongate cluster of highly lustrous, translucent, color-zoned, rich grape-purple, fluorite cubes form a striking CABINET specimen from a brand New Find from the much less well-known Esperanza Mine near Musquiz. The cubes are up to 3.1 cm wide. This showy and excellent piece is in excellent shape, with only trivial edge and periphery wear. Highly representative of this new find. Interestingly, this fluorite has very slight purple fluorescence.
