Item Description
A beautiful and showy group of modified cuboctahedral Fluorite crystals with almost WATER-CLEAR clarity! The crystals are are essentially colorless, which is rare for Fluorite as a species, but the most important aspect of the piece is that it has a MOVING WATER BUBBLE (enhydro), which is quite rare in my experience with Naica Fluories. The quality is excellent for the locality and honestly for the species in general, and the fact that it's an enhydro Fluorite makes it all the more desirable. Virtually undamaged on the front/display side, but it is contacted on the back. From the Larry Krause collection. Valued at $600. By the way, if you'd like to see a video of the water bubble inside the specimen, check out this link: https://youtu.be/HeGyNuhRxKg
