Fluorite with Quartz, Pyrite and Calcite

Item Description

Oriented on the edges of stacked green fluorite cubes, sugary sparkles of pyrite make this piece really special compared to most Moroccan green fluorite, as they highlight only the edges and not the faces of the cubes. There is also sparkly white crystals of quartz atop, and so we have the two colors of "sparkle" contrasting with the sharp green cubes. The contrast of color and texture really makes it pop in a showcase. As a bonus, some contrasting white calcite crystals sit on top. The sugary sparkle on the top face of the fluorite, on which the calcite sits, is quartz - also oriented, so that when we think about it this features two different mineral associations (quartz and pyrite) with each one somehow oriented to different faces of the fluorite. The beauty is in the combination! This comes with a free custom lucite, engraved base ($145) included from the previous owner. From a local collection.
