Fluorite ps. Calcite$1,250.00
Wire transfers available, to set up
Here is an interesting pseudomorph of Fluorite after Calcite from Colorado. The original Calcite crystal and its smaller sidecar have been totally replaced by translucent, off-white Fluorite and the exterior of both the 6.5 cm main crystal and the 3 cm sidecar have a sparkly appearance from all of the tightly intergrown, 2 mm Fluorite cubes. There is some orange-brown to brown-orange iron staining in patches and curvilinear streaks on the surface. An unusual pseudomorph, unusual locality, and interesting historic piece. Featured in the book Collecting Pseudomorphs: The Changelings of Mineralogy (Mineralogical Record, January 2025) on p. 67, fig. 11. Part of an educational set, with these additional items: Fluorite on Sphalerite (SYP25-09a) and Calcite (SYP25-09c).
