Fluorite on Dolomite Floater$900.00
Wire transfers available, to set up
Dramatic purple-zoned, cuboctahedral fluorites to 2.5 cm across, are perched on a thin, elongated crystal of dolomite, a floater that is complete all around! Overall, a very unique association I have not seen before and with two minerals both of high quality. The dolomites have a porcelain-like look to them. Purple crystals in this pocket were few and far between, it seems. The Chinese asked a huge premium for them, I am told. I have seen only a few amidst the green-blue colors more common in the pocket. This is from a new pocket found at the end of 2008, and quietly trickled into Tucson in 2009. It should be remembered as a very distinct style, something different from any we have seen before for the mine or a fluorite combination.
