Item Description

A very hard to find specimen of Fluorite from the Trusetal in Thuringia, Germany featuring beautifully "stacked", very sharp, lustrous, gemmy, colorless cubes of Fluorite measuring up to 8 mm free of matrix. The underside of the specimen hosts some small metallic golden Pyrite crystals. You never see Fluorites from this locality on the market, and a piece like this would make a great addition to a worldwide Fluorite suite or a collection of German minerals. Very good condition all around, and even the underside of the piece has some partial re-crystallization. From the PRIVATE COLLECTION (not inventory) of Herb Obodda (No. 2302).
