Item Description
Don't be fooled by the name, these specimens have been given the nickname "Tanzanite Fluorite" for the fact that they resemble one another in color. They have a beautiful 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, but make no mistake, there is no Tanzanite on the specimen. This is a beautiful piece of this fairly hard to find material featuring few fine quality, very well-formed, sharp crystals of gemmy richly colored Fluorite that show a combination of cubic and dodecahedral faces measuring up to 1.2 cm across with white scalenohedral Calcites on a Quartz covered matrix. The Fluorite crystals are in good condition, with no major damage I can see with the naked eye. These came out in 2017, and not since, so don't miss out, as we may never see them again.
