Item Description

This specimen is part of the 2021 Dallas Mineral Collecting Symposium benefit auction, with proceeds benefiting Mineralogical Record, Rocks & Minerals, Tucson Gem and Mineral Society, and mindat.org. Thanks to all of our participants!

Billing for this auction will occur on Monday, August 23, for payment using PayPal or a credit card. Shipping will be billed at cost.

A sharp cluster of the now infamous pink fluorite octahedra from the August 2018 pocket, considered by many of us to be a shocking once-in-a-lifetime find for fluorite from anywhere! This is nearly a floater, with some contacts in the back but complete on the front. It has minor inclusions of actinolite or another fibrous mineral within. Crystals reach 3.2 cm in size.
