Item Description

RARE and colorful large two-generation fluorite from this very obscure area in Germany's famed Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains). Dark purple, nubby stepped-growth euhedral to subhedral fluorite octahedrons, to about 2.0 cm, are substantially coated with pretty drusy lavender 2nd-generation fluorite on this impressive, rich and sculptural large plate. Ex Chet Lemanski Collection and acquired in 1997. This rare fluorite was undoubtedly collected from Shaft 206 during Soviet-era mining for uranium and non-ferrous metals (MINDAT). MINDAT lists only one species, Nickeline, and the Nickeline photo for Globenstein. No fluorescence.
