FLUORITE

Coahuila,
Chihuahua, Mexico
SIZE: 4 1/2" X 4 1/2" X 3"
PRICE: $225.00
Description: This large, museum sized Fluorite
(4 1/2 lbs!) appears to be a single cubic crystal composed of a complex
boxwork of individual crystal "domains" - in effect creating a very
dramatic and quite architectural mineral specimen! It has a rich purple
color and the backside is massive crystalline Fluorite where it was
attached to the cavity wall. Being a Star Trek fan, I must say that
this specimen bears a strong resemblance to the Borg ship! There are
some cleavage faces present and also some minor damage to some of the
edges - but does not detract due to the highly detailed nature of the
specimen. A whopper of a Fluorite crystal!
