Fluorite (GEM Spinel-twin)

Item Description

A great quality, older Fluorite specimen from the famous pegmatite near Nagar. The piece was mined in the mid 1990's, and is one of the better pieces of this material (especially a twinned Fluorite) that I've offered in the auctions. A GEM quality, good-sized baby pink color Spinel-law twinned Fluorite crystal with well-defined, sharp faces. The crystal is certainly gemmy enough to cut a good-sized clean gemstone. Very little damage to speak of and displayable from several angles. The orange areas are minor iron inclusions, which actually give the piece a bit of depth and character. I don't have to tell you how the value of Nagar Fluorites has risen over the years, and this is an excellent twinned Fluorite specimen of this material from this classic Pakistani locality. This is an uncommon specimen from this area which commonly features etched, or highly modified pale pink and green crystals of Fluorite, but not many twins. Priced at $2000 in the inventory. BETTER IN PERSON, hard to photograph.
