Item Description

A beautiful association specimen from Dassu, Pakistan featuring a wonderful, gemmy, soft mint green colored cuboctahedral crystal of Fluorite measuring 1.2 cm across, associated with a colorless, doubly-terminated, "jewel"-like crystal of Topaz measuring 9 mm, sitting on a highly lustrous, striated, jet-black Schorl crystal along with accenting white Albite var: Cleavelandite. It's rather impressive to have four different species represented on the same specimen like this, and they're all good quality to boot. Very showy, highly aesthetic and a choice piece from this well-known locality.
From the collection of David E Ziga, a geologist who graduated Miami (of Ohio) University in 2017, with a mineralogy background.
