Item Description

A nice specimen of thse attractive and colorful Fluorites, which date back to the mid 2000s. For Moroccan Fluorites, at least in my mind, they truly don't get enough credit for the size, color and quality. Sadly, the discovery was quite limited, so very few great pieces were available, and then they dried up. If you're a Fluorite collector, you really should have a good Taourirt specimen in your collection. This piece features sharp, well-formed, GEMMY, pale purple colored cubes of Fluorite measuring up to 1.3 cm, free of matrix. A few small nicks are visible, but it's still a good quality eye-catching specimen for any fan of Fluorites or Moroccan minerals.
