Lustrous, translucent, stepped-growth face, purple fluorite cubes with pretty, darker purple outlines cover this impressive, 3-dimensional, large cabinet specimen from an uncommon locale near the Mina Ojuela of Mexico - the El Filo Mine. The cubes reach 3.3 cm and the large knob of fluorite cubes is dramatic. Highly representative and very showy large material from this less well-known locale. Excellent purple fluorescence. Weighs 14.8 pounds or 6.7 kilograms. Ex. Dave Stoudt Collection, acquired in 2002.
