Item Description

Every other fluorite specimen we have seen from this recent find at the Esperanza Mine has consisted of solidly intergrown purple cubes. This striking and dramatic, LARGE CABINET, specimen consists of isolated and discrete, lustrous and translucent, color-zoned, rich grape-purple cubes to 3.4 cm aesthetically scattered on the elongate matrix. For that matter, matrix specimens from this find are rare. Nearly pristine, except for trivial corner wear and a bit of perphery wear, this is your opportunity to obtain a rare, significant and outstanding, large fluorite from this locale from the noted Mexico collection of Jason New. Valued at $1000-1250. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
