Fluorite (new find)

Item Description

Attention Fluorite collectors! From a new find in early 2017, we acquired a small parcel of these exciting Fluorite specimens from a good friend in Pakistan who tells me that these attractive and interesting pieces are coming from Balochistan, which is probably best known for it's beautiful fiery "Alpine-type" Brookite specimens. This is certainly not what one would expect from this area, but I have seen a few specimens in the hands of other Pakistani dealers, and they all say they're coming from Baluchistan. This attractive small cabinet display specimen features a group of intergrown cubes that show phantom zoning with purple (blue in sunlight) transitioning to nearly colorless, but the cores of the crystals show a distinct rare SMOKY hue (like Smoky Quartz), which is highly uncommon for Fluorite. The piece is in fairly good shape overall, with a bit of roughness here and there. It really looks great when backlit. Valued at $400 in the inventory. We will have a few more of these to offer in the coming weeks and months, and you will see colors ranging from purples, to blues to pinks to colorless and even some smoky hues! If you're a Fluorite collector, don't miss out on this eye-catching colorful specimen from an obscure new locality!
