Fluorite (ex Paul Zerfass Collection)

Item Description

Most collectors missed out on these beautiful Fluorites, because not many came out on matrix. They have a quite unique green color that is distinctive from Fluorites from other localities, and sharp octahedral form. This wonderful cabinet sized features sharp, rich green color octahedral crystals measuring up to 3.3 sitting aesthetically on Quartz matrix. I can see a couple contacts, nothing too major, mostly little nicks, save one obvious contact on the side of the edge nearest the Quartz. It actually displays well from either side and it just look gorgeous when its backit. Valued at $2400. From the collection of the long time, beloved, well-known French field collector, Paul Zerfass. Zerfass built this worldwide collection over nearly 50 years, many of which were personally collected. A biography featuring specimens from his collection (along with his face on the cover) is in the May - June 2017 issue of French mineral magazine, Le Regne Mineral. We have a .pdf copy of the article for anybody interested in reading it (though it's mostly in French). Just drop us a line and know that you'd like to have a copy.
