Fluorite (New Find)

Item Description

Translucent, sharp crystals to 3 cm on all sides make this a dramatic specimen, from new finds here in South Africa. Often these specimens go for a super premium - as transparent green octohedral fluorite is just NOT that common. This large piece I was fortunate enough to buy as a fixerupper and so can afford to risk at Auction. It is BIG, intensely colored, and has top luster and clarity for the find. It is easilycomparable to pieces I have at higher prices, and that the company controlling most of the production would price at $4-5000 (and did so, at the Denver show). This large plate is nearly pristine, with just a few unobtrusive cleaved crystals, but generally in very good condition overall and complete all around, 360 degrees, except for a few minor crystals. Valued $2000-2500
