Item Description

Several intergrown golden-yellow cubes of Fluorite are clustered on this attractive small cabinet specimen from Aouli in Morocco. While the color is well known for the location, this cluster has unusually deep saturation and good crystal size. There are six translucent to transparent, crystals in this cluster with the largest measuring 2.3 cm on edge. The cubes are sharp, transparent to translucent with a satin to vitreous luster and and are perched attractively on a drusy Quartz and granular Fluorite matrix. A cool older specimen of crystallized Fluorite from this older lead-zinc deposit located just northeast of Midelt. This is a very characteristic example of these well-known Fluorites with a lovely golden-yellow hue. The crystals are undamaged with the exception of one in the very back of the cluster that has some roughness around the periphery.
