Item Description
A great quality, and beautiful pinkish-lilac display specimen of Fluorite hosting a handful of very sharp and nearly WATER-clear "phantom" cubes associated with a small amount of bladed Barite on the reverse side. The best Fluorites from Berbes are among the finest quality Fluorites in the world from the standpoint of gemminess/clarity and luster, and to find Fluorite this color from any locality is very difficult, despite the fact that this is one of the most abundant species in the world, found in practically every environment. The largest cube measures 1.8 cm on edge, and is really worth picking up as the quality is really good (better in person) compared to most we've offered in the auctions from Spain. Priced at $700 retail for quality, gemminess and color.
