Pink Fluorite (fluorescent)

Item Description

Until these lustrous, translucent, pink fluorites were discovered in Mexico, Peru and the Alps were the only sources for pink fluorite, and the cost of a specimen such as this was (and still is) astronomical from those localities. These translucent octahedrons measure up to a large 3.0 cm (among the largest crystals so far), and have vivid, deep pink color against the beautifully contrasting white matrix. An excellent, sculptural LARGE CABINET plate. Vivid purple fluorescence.
