Item Description
A VERY UNUSUAL and showy, knob-like, spiky cluster of purple to brown fluorite pseudomorphs after sharp calcite scalenohedrons. This complete all-around and nearly damage-free specimen hails from the less well-known Aurora Mine, Cuchillo Parado, Chihuahua, Mexico. The little fan-like rosettes of an unknown mineral scattered on the specimen are a vey nice accent. The trivial bit of termination bruising on the uppermost pseudo is on the backside and is out of sight. RARE and excellent material from this locale.
