Description
A huge crystal of purple fluorite from the Elmwood Mine. The display side of the crystal is complete, and the backside where it was once attached to the pocket wall demonstrates with its thousands of microfaces that it came loose in the pocket and then naturally healed - making it technically a floater now. In a way this is very fortunate, because it means that light can get to the back of the crystal so it can light up a rich purple under good light; had the crystal been a more entire cube, it would have been almost opaque except under the most intense light. Atop the crystal sits a calcite crystal of unusual form and color (colorless) for the mine, along with a bit of dolomite. A super-sharp phantom is visible inside when the crystal is viewed from the bottom, also quite unusual for the Elmwood. Ex. Consie Prince Collection.

Fluorite Sales Data
How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
