Item Description
Lustrous, translucent, sea-green, fluorite cubes to 3.7 cm are dramatically and preferentially coated with mirror-bright, brass-yellow pyrite and sparkly, colorless, calcite microcrystals on this striking and excellent CABINET specimen from the less well-known El Hammam Mine of Morocco. This mine has produced some unusual and very showy fluorite combination specimens and this piece certainly qualifies. Pristine, except for trivial periphery wear. The former dealer label has a $750 price. 2.9 pounds or 1.3 kilos.
