Item Description
A stunning, exceptional, 5.5 x 4.8 x 4.2 cm fluorite cube is dramatically set on the large, sculptural fluorite matrix with smaller crystals. The highly lustrous, gem crystal has beautiful violet color with sharp dark purple phantoms. The surreal dense stepped-growth faces, fortification feature on one cube face, well-placed striking fields of gray barite spearpoints and patches of lustrous goethite botryoids add fantastic pizzazz to this outstanding and uncommon combination from the famous Moscona Mine. Most fluorites from here are golden-yellow. The right edge of the cube is dinged, but certainly has negligible impact to this overall very high quality of this rare style fluorite from this noted locale. Choice material from the Raul Sanabria Collection and valued at $1250-1500 for size, rarity and quality.
