Fluorite (ex Paul Zerfass Collection)

Item Description

A beautiful display specimen from Moscona featuring very sharp, lustrous, gemmy, well-formed cubic golden Fluorite with accenting golden colored scalenohedral Calcite on matrix. The largest Fluorite measures 6 mm on edge. The piece is in good shape overall, and when backlit, the color really comes out. A worthwhile and aesthetic association specimen from this well known Fluorite producing district. Valued at $950. From the collection of the long time, beloved, well-known French field collector, Paul Zerfass (Collection #542). 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.
