Fluorite

Unknown Owner

Huge crystals of colorless, sharp fluorite cubes reach 3 inches on edge, in this specimen from the very old Black Forest mine of Grube Clara. This is a very old specimen, and comes with a label from the noted Herb Obodda personal collection of fluorites which was sold off in the mid-1990s. The piece sharp edges and is complete-all-around. It shows a very slight hint of grayish color, but is basically colorless. I cannot say how old it is, but he thought it predated the mid-1900s, at least. Weighs 1270 grams. Ex. Herb Obodda Collection.
