Fluorite (fluorescent) & Barite (Trimingham Coll.)

Item Description

Intergrown, lustrous, translucent, fluorite cubes to 4.7 cm are attractively complimented by off-white, bladed barite balls dusted with tiny micro pyrites. The lavender and light green cubes have frosted, stepped-growth faces. In great shape, overall, with only one, smaller, bruised barite ball. Rich combinations, such as this, are uncommon from this well-known, extinct, Black Forest fluorite mine. Bright purple fluorescence. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection and obtained in 1976.
