Item Description

One of the best Fluorite specimens that we've offered from Zagi Mountain. It comes from the PERSONAL COLLECTION (not inventory of Herb Obodda). It is a fine piece for locality, not only because of the quality of the Fluorite crystals, but the fact that they're associated with excellent, lustrous, gemmy Quartz crystals. The Fluorites are fairly sharp, translucent, with a soft green color, and are cubic in habit, which is not common for any locality in Pakistan, but they also show a penetration twin habit, which is also rare for any Pakistani locale. The largest Fluorite measures 2.0 cm. The Quartz crystals are a great association for the Fluorites and they are very lustrous for the locality.
