Item Description

An adorable and RARE combination from this obscure mine, located near the famous Huayllapon Mine (rhodochrosite and fluorite). An elegant stacked cluster of beautiful, water-clear, gem, colorless to light mint-green fluorite cubes have super purple corner phantoms and nifty beveled corners. The cubes are beautifully accented with RARE spherical aggregates of tiny, pearlescent muscovite plates. You can see tiny marcasite plates down in the interior of the large cube! Pristine, except for the periphery wear. Specimens of ANY species are RARE from this locale. Probably older material, but no proof. Modest purple fluorescence. Ex Art Soregaroli Collection. Value??
