Fluorite ex. Herb Obodda Collection

Item Description

HUGE crystals of colorless, sharp fluorite cubes reach 3 inches on edge, in this important specimen from the very old Black Forest mine of Grube Clara. This is a very old specimen, and comes with a label from the noted Herb Obodda personal collection of fluorites which was sold off in the mid-1990s. His label comes with the specimen. For the size, this is in remarkably good condition with sharp edges, and is complete all around. It shows a very slight hint of grayish color, but is basically colorless. I cannot say how old it is, but he thought it predated the mid-1900s, at least. For the locality, these crystals are huge (particularly in good condition). Valued $2500-3000 1270 grams
