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,
single quartz crystal that has numerous, 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 crystals are 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 JULY 17th!!!
