Item Description
Fluorite specimens from the well-known Rock Candy Mine of British Columbia can look just like their namesake - sugary rock candy. This striking and showy piece is a highly modified, single, cuboctahedral, fluorite aesthetically set on needle quartz matrix. The surface of the translucent, light sea-green crystal has an amazing lustrous and frosted look on the incredibly dense, stepped-growth faces. Closed examination of the multitude of stepped-growth faces is truly surreal. Complete all-around and pristine. The is classic, highly desirable material from this noted locale. Ex Jaime Bird Collection. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
