Fluorite w/ Chalcopyrite & Sphalerite (Zigras Coll.)

Item Description

This striking plate of near colorless, with hints of faint green, tightly intergrown, very glassy, water-clear fluorite cuboctahedrons looks like one the geometric prints of famed artistic, M.C. Escher! The form of this piece is surreal in person. The included string of pyrites on the back and bit of attached sphalerite add even more pizzazz to this outstanding old fluorite from the famous mines at Naic. This pristine classic dates to the 1970s-80s finds. Modest purple fluorescence. Ex James Zigras Mexico Collection. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
