Item Description
A good quality small cabinet sized specimen of beautiful gemmy pale green and purplish Fluorite crystals on Quartz from the well known Mex-Tex mine in New Mexico. The habit of the crystals is cubic, and they have little built up faces on the surface that are really attractive up close. This mine is known for producing many colors and habits of Fluorites. The largest crystal measures 2.2 cm across. If you collect Fluorites, don't miss out on this one. Good quality all around, with very little damage. From the collection of Gary Weaver of Prescott, Arizona (1944-2019). Gary was an electrical engineer who worked for many years 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).
