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, complex group of doubly terminated quartz crystals that
host 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 fantastic 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 24th!!!
