Item Description

This is a wonderful association specimen from the high mountain mines above the village of Yuno in Pakistan. This piece features an excellent, soft blue-green colored, gemmy, sharp, well-formed cuboctahedral Fluorite crystal measuring 1.8 cm across, sitting along the side of an etched black Schorl Tourmaline crystal, which are set atop a fantastic group of highly quality, beautiful bladed crystals of Albite (var: Cleavelandite) which have formed "flower"-like groups. Minor silvery-golden shimmering Muscovite blades can be seen on the pieces well. As nice as the Fluorite crystal is, I'm really in love with the Albite crystals on this specimen, they're really good! The piece is in fine condition on the display side, as I can't find any real damage of note. Priced in our inventory at $1,200.
