Mt. White is a great pegmatite locality in central Colorado, but unfortunately sits in the shadow of the more prominent Mt. Antero, so it doesn't get as much attention. This area has produced some very interesting specimens in its history, and this piece is a great example. This piece was collected by the Colorado collector George Robertson in July, 1982, and was a gift to Richard Kosnar shortly after it was found. This piece hosts several soft green and purple color-zoned, octahedral Fluorite crystals sitting on minor Albite. It has good translucency and a soft matte luster, but is fine for a Pegmatite Fluorite from Colorado. Ex. Richard Kosnar Collection.
