Cabinet size specimen from the world famous Panasqueira mines. The Fluorites from Panasqueira are usually small crystals, not larger than 1 cm. This piece is one of the largest Fluorites I have ever seen from Panasqueira in 35 years. It shows an exceptional color zoning and it is very bright. It is accompanied by Ferberite crystals, Siderite and Arsenopyrite. From a 2021 find in the 1st level of the mine. Only three of these larger specimens were recovered by the miners. A nice Panasqueira Fluorite suitable for both the most demanding Panasqueira and Fluorite collectors.
