Item Description

These are some of the most interesting Fluorite specimens from any locality. To find Fluorite in a Trap Rock locality such as this is very unusual, as most people are accustomed to seeing Zeolites and associated species from India. These golden botryoidal Fluorites are unique and extremely attractive. This specimen features a gemmy, rich greenish-golden color, Fluorite "sphere" on translucent stubby Quartz crystal matrix. The "sphere" measures 1.7 cm. The piece is virtually unduamaged and actually looks a bit better in person than the photos show.
