This fine Arizonan Fluorite is not only colourful, but has great crystal definition and is a great size for display too. It comes from the La Fluorita Dulcita prospect in Cochise County, Arizona which is a relatively modern discovery, comprising shallow surface excavations into cavities in limestone bedrock. These pretty bright purple octahedral crystals are one of the standout forms of Fluorite for which the site is renowned and this smaller cabinet-sized specimen from Paul Matt is a cracker, showing particularly nice colour zonation along the edges of the crystals which are clustered in groups all across the surface of this irregularly shaped sample. Individually, the crystals reach up to 8 mm on edge. The most active period of workings were during 2013 and it is likely that this is when Paul Matt acquired it.
