Fluorite (botryoidal)

Item Description

This is not your typical Fluorite specimen (for Colorado), as it features an attractive botryoidal form with a frosty hue on the surface, and a much more concentrated purple hue underneath. The botryoidal form, along with the attractive color make for an enticing combo for any Fluorite collector, especially a Colorado Fluorite collector. Good quality all around, save the edges where it was removed from the pocket. From the collection of Gary Weaver of Prescott, Arizona (1944-2019). Gary was an electrical engineer who worked for many years for Hughes Aircraft in California. After retiring to Prescott, Arizona in the early 2000s, Gary rekindled his childhood love of minerals, amassing a collection of roughly 2000 specimens focusing on localities in which he and his wife had lived or visited (Mexico, Peru and the western / southwestern United States).
