Fluorite - large, octahedrons (fluorescent) ex. Soregaroli Coll.

Item Description

An impressive and aesthetic cluster of large fluorite octahedrons from the famed Pasto Bueno district. The very glassy, translucent octos, to 6.5 cm, have pretty light seafoam-green interiors and fascinating multiple overgrowth layers of lighter green and colorless fluorite. Many faces have striking colorless stepped-growth and two faces have nifty skeletal overgrowth. Adding pizzazz, the 'B' side has embedded lustrous, dark wine-red hubnerite crystals, to 1.4 cm, and a single, 3.4 cm, doubly terminated and pristine quartz at the base. Complete all-around and in great shape, overall. Pristine, except for the contacting on one end, which is certainly only a very minimal detraction to this striking and excellent large fluorite from the Art Soregaroli Collection. These are notably large crystals for the locale. Bright purple fluorescence. Valued at $1500.
