Specimen grade Fluorite has been produced since the early 1980s and this particular specimen is a little beauty! One 2.8 x 2.6 x 2.2 cm gemmy cubic Fluorite crystal dominates several other smaller yet similar crystals which surround and partly penetrate it. All crystals are transparent tending to gemmy with translucent to opaque milky white cores. The Fluorite is a light lavender blue with darkened edges with the crystal group is perched jauntily on a hard grey limestone matrix. A sublime Fluorite from the Emilio mine, Spain.
