Fluorite with Arsenopyrite & Quartz

Trevaunance Mine (Wheal Trevaunance), St Agnes District, Cornwall, England

5.44cm x 4.53cm x 3cm

Ex. Florence Mecke Collection

Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection


Description/Interesting Notes:

A classic, old time example of fluorite from Cornwall!!! This specimen hosts a group of bright, colorless fluorite crystals prominently perched atop a greenish, chlorite-rich matrix in aesthetic association with numerous sharp quartz points and brilliant, silvery arsenopyrite crystals!!! The fluorite crystals exhibit particularly bright and showy play of light within - in person the specimen is quite dynamic - the fluorite crystals shine brightly from within like lit-up ice cubes!!! The fluorite crystals exhibit highly complex, tetrahexahedral form (pyramidal faces on each cube face) which is a very rare form and is quite characteristic of the fluorite crystals from this locale!!! The quartz crystals have razor-sharp terminations and the arsenopyrite crystals show sharp form with bright silvery metallic luster!!! This specimen is complete and in fantastic condition all around!!! This is a VERY aesthetic and showy Cornish classic indeed!!! This is OLD material that likely dates back a century or more!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!! Prior to the Nikischer collection this specimen was originally from the collection of Florence Mecke (acquired from the late 1930's until the 1970's)!!!
