Fluorite with Celestine (ex Gary Weaver Collection)

Item Description

A good representative cabinet specimen from the Tule Mine in Múzquiz featuring gemmy, purple and white/colorless, lustrous cubic crystals of Fluorite measuring up to 3.5 cm associated with bladed and blocky, off-white colored crystals of Celestine with minor drusy Calcite. The piece is not damage free, as there are some contacted areas, but it's still showy and eye-catching for what it is. From the collection of Gary Weaver (1944-2019), an electrical engineer who worked for Hughes Aircraft in California. After retiring to Prescott, Arizona in the early 2000s, Gary rekindled his childhood love of minerals, amassing a collection of roughly 2000 specimens focusing on localities in which he and his wife had lived or visited (Mexico, Peru and the western / southwestern United States).
