Item Description

As with the pink fluorites from the same locality, until these creedites were discovered, good crystallized specimens were exceedingly rare and expensive from ANY locality. Suddenly, you could own a really fine creedite without selling your house to get it. Then, last year, we heard that the mining was FINISHED, apparently for good. So if you do not have one, well, here is a chance at a big, fine one. We were lucky enough to put some aside before the mining stopped. This is a large floater ball, covered with fat orange creedite crystals to 1.5 centimeter in length! You can also see green and purple fluorite here, an uncommon association that makes the specimen even more interesting.
