Fluorite with Muscovite$900.00
Wire transfers available, to set up
A large single octahedral Fluorite crystal nestles in a broad bed of well-developed Muscovite mica crystals from Nagar in the Hunza Valley of the Gilgit District in Pakistan. The spectacular mountainous scenery in this area is breath-taking and on a monumental scale. An initial glance kids you into supposing this to be a beryl crystal lurking amidst the Muscovite, but look closer and there you have it, an overall 4 cm long octahedral Fluorite crystal of pale sea green, with edges of up to 3.8 cm. The crystal is semi-transparent with an outer translucent layer which blurs the outline of any object placed behind the crystal. The Muscovite forms an intermeshed array of paly hexagonal, silvery fawn crystals of between 1.5 and 3 cm across. The odd Muscovite crystal is slightly bruised, but these are few and cover a mainly hidden matrix of snow white platy Albite Feldspar over a massive Quartz matrix.\n
