EXQUISITE combination specimen from recent pegmatite finds in Espirito Santo, Brazil consisting of shocking teal to aqua blue colored, intergrown cubic crystals of Fluorite with pearlescent Muscovite and clear glassy Albite crystals. A number of cubes have a slight convex style with softer edges and the largest cube measuring 2.7 cm on edge. The translucent and zoned crystals exhibit a darker aqua blue interior with a purple-blue core in many cases. A truly amazing colored Fluorite for Brazil! The contrasting crystalline blades of Albite are a nice addition as well as the Muscovite covered backing the helps to intensify the dramatic Fluorite color on the front. The piece is in excellent condition with one small contacted Fluorite. A magnificent museum sized specimen of possibly some of the best colored Fluorite to have ever come out of Brazil! These are amazing, one of the most surprising finds of the end of 2023.
