Item Description

This mine has recently produced some beautiful Fluorite specimens with very eye-catching crystals. This piece features many attractive pale silvery lilac cubes which are built up with a secondary generation of cubic faces creating a very ethereal appearance. The cubes are gemmy and lustrous, and simply look better in person, so don't let the photos fool you, they're really fun to view up close. Lastly, the Fluorites are sitting on a bed of pale bluish-white bladed Barites to create a very soft and elegant overall apperance. If you collect Fluorites, don't miss out on this one, as it's fresh out of the ground and is just different enough from most other Spanish Fluorites that it's worth picking up. Enjoy.
