Spanish fluorites are among the world's best, especially when you want purple colors, and interesting shapes. This is from the famed 1970(-ish) find of the Josefa-Veneros vein, and has a distinct color pattern to it. The crystals stack into a beautiful and geometric grouping of saturated blue and purple cubes of fluorite. This special find features flat cubic faces with interesting beveled edges - and with just a little backlighting, these absolutely glow. A definitely crowd-pleaser, instantly recognizable from this relatively small find of over 40 years ago. Old Jordi Fabre label, confirms the pocket and locality.
