The Dr. Miguel Romero Collection of Mexican minerals was universally considered to be the world's finest. It was on display for many years, following his death, at the University of Arizona Mineral Museum. His collection recently sold and was the subject of a special supplement to the Mineralogical Record. This striking, beautiful and fine fluorite and calcite specimen from Chihuahua was on display at the University. A gorgeous, 1.5 cm, limpid, green and purple fluorite cube with modified, cuboctahedral corners dominates this very fine piece. The purple phantoms along the edges of all of the fluorite cubes are striking.
