Item Description

The Huanzala mine in Peru has produced some of the most attractive and impressive fluorites from all of South America and this showy combination specimen is from a recent find in mid-January, 2010. Vibrant, pretty pastel-pink, transparent, fluorite cuboctahedrons with frosted to amazingly water-clear faces are nicely accented with striking, spinel-twinned galena crystals, nifty white calcite rosettes and mirror-bright pyrites on the back. This excellent combination example is in great shape. Bright purple fluorescence.
