Item Description

A showy display specimen filled with gemmy, yellow cubic crystals sharp and lustrous Fluorite measuring up to 7 mm on edge. Very little damage, and the piece is actually partially crystallized on the back. A lovely attractive specimen from this well known Fluorite producing district. The piece sits wonderfully on its own without the aid of a base or clay. From the worldwide collection of David Burgess (1951-2016) David was a prolific species collector from Newington, Connecticut, and the namesake for the extremely rare cobalt arsenate species Burgessite, which he discovered.
