Item Description
From a recent find in Brazil is this unusual Fluorite specimen covered with sea-green cubes! Dozens of satin lustered, seafoam green, cubes of Fluorite are grouped nicely all over this piece with areas of off-white, brecciated slivers of Microcline showing through for good contrast. This unusual pegmatite find in Espirito Santo state was discovered in late 2019 and was a very limited find. Amazingly just about every Fluorite crystal on this piece is in perfect condition even around the periphery and the back side. The back side also shows the off-white Microcline along with large patches of fine-grained, purplish Lepidolite. Cool piece! Fluorites from Brazil's abundant gem crystal pegmatite zones are very uncommon!
