Fluorite on Fluorite

Item Description

Nifty, sharp, gemmy, lustrous, larger second generation, smoky purple interpenetrating fluorite cubes are aesthetically scattered on the sculptural small cabinet plate covered with an earlier generation of smaller bi-colored fluorite cubes. The prominent, central interpenetrating twin is 1.6 x 1.2 cm. Some of the larger fluorites and nearly all of the first generation smaller fluorites are included with contrasting "clouds" of white fluorite, adding color, contrast and much character. The interior is pristine and the noted periphery wear is certainly a modest detraction. Purple LW UV fluorescence. The back and base have been sawed to enhance the display. From a USA collector who diligently acquired specimens from every pocket. This showy and rich, multi-generational fluorite is from the 2021 Smoky Rabbit Pocket find at the Diana Maria Mine at famed Weardale.
