Fluorite

Item Description

An attractive small cabinet specimen featuring a group of sharp, gemmy / transparent "phantomed" beautiful purple and yellow color cubic crystals of Fluorite measuring up to 3.4 cm. Strangely, there are small, nearly invisible radial "water spots" just below the surface of the Fluorite crystals that fluoresce a strong yellow-white hue under UV light. I have no clue what these are, but can hardly see them without a loupe or microscope unless you shine a black light on them. This locality is well known for its Fluorite specimens, and good specimens are not terribly common to find on the market these days. A few nicks on the display side, but it's sharp and lustrous, and the internal color is fantastic. This area is completely closed down and will never produce these specimens again. Classic material.
