Beautiful, large cabinet specimen of translucent, green and purple octahedral fluorite crystals, nicely balanced and with wonderful form. These were a big hit at Tucson in 2004 and prices for these have doubled since then! Size: 15.3 x 4.4 x 8.5 cm.

  

TA-1518 - Fluorite
Walworth Quarry, Walworth, New York
An elongated, colorless, water-clear cube of fluorite perched on a small bit of dolomitic matrix. Damage is restricted to contacting at the lower front portion of the crystal where it was removed from matrix.

These are much sought after and difficult to collect as the rock they are found in is very hard. Size: 1.9 x 2.2 x 1.9 cm.
