Item Description

When it comes to Fluorite specimens, some of the very finest, if not the most impressive and highly sought after are those from the Swiss Alps. Pink and red Fluorite from the clefts in Switzerland are among those minerals that reach the higest caliber of beauty and rarity. Not only are the Fluorites highly sought after, but when the crystals are associated with Smoky Quartz, that's the end all for Swiss Fluorites! This specimen features some beautiful, gemmy, light pink color crystals of Fluorite aesthetically sitting on Quartz crystal matrix. The largest Fluorite measures 1.3 cm across. A great Alpine treasure! Sure, it's not 100% perfect, hence the auction listing, but it's still very attractive, and it's not easy to find near-cabinet sized matrix specimens of this material. Valued at $1500.
