Item Description

Lustrous, translucent, stepped-growth face, purple fluorite cubes with pretty, darker purple outlines cover this impressive, 3-dimensional, LARGE CABINET specimen from the an uncommon locale near the famous Mina Ojuela of Mexico - the El Filo Mine. The cubes reach 3.3 cm and the large knob of fluorite cubes is dramatic. For such a large and rich piece, there are only a few lightly cleaved corners, which are certainly not a detraction. Highly representative and very showy large material from this less well-known locale. Excellent purple fluorescence. 14.8 pounds or 6.7 kilos. Ex Dave Stoudt Collection and valued at $1500-ish.This monster displays very well from several angles, as you can see! Extra charge for shipping.
