Condition

A relatively modern discovery, the La Fluorita Dulcita prospect in Cochise County, Arizona is little more than shallow surface excavations into cavities in limestone bedrock. Forming a thin matrix, white Quartz forming epimorphic casts after Calcite crystals is dotted with well-formed, pretty, translucent purple octahedral Fluorite crystals. These Fluorite crystals reach up to 9 mm across in size and present a fine translucency meaning that their colour is enhanced with directional lighting and their slightly darker edges stand out nicely. This is a high quality miniature piece from this 'modern' discovery. Ex Paul Matt.
