Item Description

Several gorgeous, green color, GEM quality to translucent, sharp, cuboctahedral crystals of Fluorite are sitting on crystallized black Sphalerite and some accenting white Quartz. The largest Fluorite measures 2.4 cm across. As you can tell from the photos, the piece can be displayed from many angles. The majority of the Fluorites are undamaged, with only minor edge wear here and there (the bottom is contacted). Great shape all the way around, and certainly worthwhile for any Fluorite collector or a collector of Mexican minerals. This piece is from a recent find at the mine, probably around 7 years ago. For the quality, associations, and overall aesthetics, it is a sweet small cabinet from this incredible mine. Priced at $2500 in the inventory.
