Item Description
A super, 3.9 x 2.5 x 1.8 cm, glassy, transparent, sea-green, spinel-twinned, fluorite crystal with frosted faces is eloquently set on an undulating matrix of starkly contrasting metallic, galena cuboctahedrons and clusters of sparkly, tiny dolomite crystals. Very choice and desirable combination material from the famous mines at Naica, from a notable find in 1976-77. Modest purple fluorescence. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection. THIS IS A VERY RARE STYLE AND COLOR FROM THE MINE!
