Item Description

This beautiful, transparent, bluish-violet fluorite cube is from the circa 1988 find at the famous Mina Ojuela. The glassy faces have amazing stepped-growth, that looks chevron-shaped in bright light. It must be seen to be appreciated. Yes, this cube does have some periphery wear and contacting, but this remains a very highly representative example of this uncommon and striking fluorite varietal from this renowned locale. Bright CHERRY-RED fluorescence (uncommon) with this find. Ex Larry Krause collection, valued $300
