Item Description

Attention Fluorite collectors. From a new find in early 2014, this was a single specimen that I acquired from a good friend in Pakistan who tells me that these new and interesting Fluorites are coming from Baluchistan, which is probably best known for it's beautiful fiery Brookite specimens. This is certainly not what one would expect from this area, but I have seen a few specimens in the hands of other Pakistani dealers, and they all say they're coming from Baluchistan. This attractive large cabinet display specimen features many sharp, gemmy, violet-silvery colroed "stepped" cubes of Fluorite with minor associated Calcite on the reverse side. Overall, the piece is in great condition, and really looks better in person. If you're a Fluorite collector, don't miss out on this eye-catching colorful specimen from an obscure new locality!
