Fluorite

Item Description

This nicely balanced thumbnail specimen is a classic of the French Alpine deposits. About five fluorite crystals, to 1.1 cm, are aesthetically perched on the granite matrix. The octahedrons have sharp edges, a translucent, pretty pastel-pink color and the crystal faces are lightly frosted. The three primary topside crystals are pristine. Always desirable French Alpine material. Ex Jaime Bird Collection and certainly dates to the 1960s or 70s, with the $8 label!
