A BIG and RICH specimen of fluorite from an undisclosed New Mexico locality that has been mined by for the past couple of years, producing these very unique specimens that look like fluorite from nowhere else. They are essentially very densely intergrown octahedral crystals, forming a mass 4 cm thick of solid fluorite! The faces show pretty, stepped growth patterns along the octahedral faces. The crystals measure to 4 cm across....big and show! BETTER In PERSON! 13.5 x 9 x 7 cm
