Item Description

Beautiful, translucent, rich teal-blue, fluorite octahedrons with frosted/etched faces are attractively accented with lustrous, nubby, brown calcites rhombs on this excellent and very uncommon large combination specimen from the Evan Jones Arizona Collection. This fluorite style is rare from the Hull Mine area of the Castle Dome District. The crystals in the display area are pristine. The fluorites across the top of this fine large piece are cleaved and bruising is noted on the right side, but this remains an uncommon and very fine example of this uncommon fluorite varietal from this locale. BRIGHT whitish-blue fluorescence. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON, especially when backlit!!
