Very pretty, color-zoned, purple fluorite cubes are richly and aesthetically scattered on the sculptural matrix on this very showy and excellent specimen from a brand new find (2009) at the famous Mina Ojuela. The fluorite cubes, to 1.0 cm, are transparent, highly lustrous and the crystal faces are lightly etched, giving the cubes a waxy luster. The vivid purple color-zoning makes these highly attractive Mina Ojuela fluorites that compare very favorably with those recovered from any era.
