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 3.1 cm (large for the find), and have vivid, deep pink color against the beautifully contrasting white matrix. A modest amount of periphery wear is noted. A striking, sculptural, curved LARGE CABINET plate. Vivid purple fluorescence. one of the better specimens we have had of this material in the last year, by far, and valued $800-1000
