Item Description

Gemmy, glassy, intergrown fluorite cuboctahedrons have pretty rose-pink color and water-clear to frosted to stepped-growth faces. The fluorites are artistically set on and capped by splendent, well-striated pyritohedrons. This excellent and very showy miniature is from the mid-January find of 2010 at the famous Huanzala Mine. Valued at $600-750. The former dealer valued it at $895. Purple fluorescence.
