Unusual color-zoned Fluorite (Jaime Bird Coll.)

Item Description

A most unusual, excellent and rare color-zoned fluorite from Naica. Fluorite with soft green cores and pretty light purple edge phantoms are rare. The nifty, intergrown cluster of glassy, gemmy, cuboctahedrons have water-clear to frosted/etched faces. There are micro pyrites on and included-in the crystals. A complete all-around and pristine, 360-degree specimen from the Jaime Bird Collection. This piece must have been highly prized for its unusual characteristics in the 1960s to early 70s, as the former dealer label has a $37.50 price. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
