Fluorite

This exceptional, heavy matrix cabinet specimen showcases a dramatic and highly sculptural association of pale, icy-green Calcite on a robust cluster of geometric Fluorite from Mekhtar, Pakistan. The centerpiece of the composition is a towering, beautifully developed, and sharply pointed calcite scalenohedron crystal that projects vertically like a mountain peak.

The calcite crystal is natively cradled by a heavy bed of dense, interlocking fluorite cubes. These fluorite crystals exhibit magnificent, well-defined cubic geometry, accented by highly intricate, stepped chevron growth lines across their main display faces. The interaction between the smooth, steep planes of the central calcite tower and the complex, architectural texture of the surrounding fluorite provides world class three dimensional relief. With a substantial, commanding presence and outstanding structural balance from multiple display angles, this remarkable Pakistani combination piece represents a highly coveted paragenesis for advanced collectors of worldwide classics.
