Item Description
Attention Fluorite collectors! From a new find in early 2017, we acquired a small parcel of these exciting Fluorite specimens from a good friend in Pakistan who tells me that these attractive and interesting pieces are coming from Baluchistan, which is probably best known for it's beautiful fiery "Alpine-type" Brookite specimens. This is certainly not what one would expect from this area, but I have seen a few specimens in the hands of other Pakistani dealers, and they all say they're coming from Baluchistan. This attractive large miniature / small cabinet display specimen is features sharp and well-formed cubes of Fluorite with a beautifuly silvery-lilac color. The largest crystal measures 3.1 cm on edge. No matrix on the piece, and the back of the specimen is actually re-crystallized ("re-healed"), where it detached from the pocket wall The cubes have a beautiful "stepped" appearance. Overall, the piece is in good condition, with only a few imperfections, and really looks better in person. If you're a Fluorite collector, don't miss out on this eye-catching colorful specimen from an obscure, fairly new locality!
