FLUORITE


Muzquiz,
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!
