Description
English: Fluorite
Locality: Naica, Municipio de Saucillo, Chihuahua, Mexico (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: small cabinet, 7.2 x 6.2 x 2.8 cm
Fluorite
I really like the aesthetics of this specimen where gemmy, pastel green fluorite crystals, to 4.0 cm across are perched on a bit of contrasting, black sphalerite. The larger fluorite has an internal veil within, or this would be double the price, but that is not a crack or damage and its still a very fine display quality specimen. The fluorite crystals are cubes modified by octahedral faces. The piece pulled away from its rear matrix in geologic time, was then "healed" by more crystallization at the contact on the backside thus making it a floater, and as a result the crystals here are also so gemmy that its practically read-through. Internal pyrite crystal inclusions can easily be seen. Very lovely!
