Item Description

A gorgeous association specimen featuring VERY GEMMY, sharp, lustrous, colorless cubes of Fluorite measuring up to 1.0 cm sitting on contrasting dark golden-brown colored Sphalerite matrix. The Fluorites remind me of the famous "ice cube" crystals from Dalnegorsk, Russia. The piece is in good shape overall, as most of the Fluorites are undamaged, but there are some contacted crystals here and there. A cool piece to add to any Fluorite suite or a suite of minerals from Naica, as this particular style is not terribly common and would certainly round out your collection. We acquired this specimen from a prominent Midwest collection over the summer.
