Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of this extraordinary combination of fluorite included in quartz!!!
These specimens were part of a small find a few years back and there is very little material
to be had!!! Out of all of the material there were very few good "specimens" found, as
most were broken up chunks!!! This magnificent specimen consists of a sharp, doubly terminated group of parallel quartz crystals,
that have intensely colored, purple fluorite crystals included within!!! This locality
produced only a very small number of crystals with significant enough clarity and lustrous
enough faces to be able to appreciate the fluorite crystals within!!! As far as the locality is concerned, this
specimen has
exceptional clarity, luster, sharpness of form, and quality compared to the majority of material found there!!! The fluorite crystals
are rather large for this occurence as well!!! What is most exciting about this specimen
is that the fluorite is large and brightly colored and the quartz is clear and
lustrous - allowing one to easily see that these fluorite crystals are not octahedrons but
actually TETRAHEXAHEDRONS!!! This is a very rare habit indeed and this specimen allows one
to see it in magnificent illustration as a free-floating included fluorite crystal in
quartz!!! The pics don't even come close!!! This material has all but disappeared since
its initial, small one-time find!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS
WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JUNE 26TH!!!
