Color-zoned Fluorite on Celestine (Dick Heck Coll.)

Item Description

A classic combo piece from Mexico, these are seldom seen today! Enveloping a lustrous and translucent, stark white, sawtooth, spearpoint celestine crystal, measuring 8.75 cm in length, are purple fluorite crystals, to 2 cm across. The fluorites are lustrous and translucent and exhibit a light purple color with nifty darker edge phantoms. The piece actually is almost smothered with fluorites. Nearly pristine, except only for one cleaved crystal at the upper-left periphery, as shown in the first two photos. Nevertheless, that tilts out and away, and is not immediately notiecable although price was halved accordingly. It looks great from all sides, and up or down. Ex Dick Collection and valued at $750.
