Item Description
A beautiful cabinet display specimen of the now well-known purple Fluorites from the famous Ojuela Mine. The piece hosts several incredibly sharp and VERY gemmy, rich purple to lilac colored "phantom" cubic Fluorite crystals on an oxidized matrix. The sheer clarity of the Fluorites is amazing, and to have a bigger display specimen like this is NOT common in my experience with this material. The largest crystal measures 1.0 cm on edge. From the collection of John Arnaud of Colorado. If you collect attractive cabinet Fluorite specimens, don't miss out on this beauty.
