Item Description
A very cute and classic fluorite combination piece from the famous mines at Naica. A gem-like, water-clear, 2.0 cm, bi-colored, light green and colorless, stepped-growth fluorite cuboctahedron is jauntily perched on a mounded matrix of smaller fluorites, galena cuboctahedrons, pyrite pyritohedrons, sprays of tiny dogtooth calcite crystals and quartz. Excellent older material from the 1960s or early 70s from the Jaime Bird Collection. Moderate purple fluorescence. BETTER IN PERSON.
