Item Description

This is a hard to find specimen from the little known Iowa Canyon District in north-central Nevada. This piece hosts a predominant, sharp, soft green colored octahedral crystal of Fluorite measuring 5.2 cm across, with a few smaller associated Fluorites sitting on Quartz matrix. A very thin drusy layer of Quartz can be seen coating some of the Fluorite crystal faces. Good quality overall, with minimal damage. This piece was mined in August of 2007 according to the label. If you collect rare locality specimens, worldwide Fluorites or minerals from the western United States, don't miss out on this one.
