Item Description

A beautiful piece of what has been dubbed "Tanzanite Fluorite" for their alluring purple color in indoor lighting, which shifts to more of a blue-purple color in sunlight, reminiscent of the purple and blue colors seen in Tanzanite crystals. Please note that there is no Tanzanite on this specimen, the nickname is indicative of the color. This piece features several fine quality, very well-formed, sharp crystals of gemmy richly colored Fluorite that show a combination of cubic and dodecahedral faces measuring up to 1.5 cm across on a Quartz covered matrix. Most of the Fluorites are in fine shape, but there are some rough spots here and there, so it's not 100% pristine. These came out in 2017, and not since, so don't miss out, as we may never see them again.
