AS10 - Fluorite - SOLD

Size: 4.4 x 3.6 x 2.7 cm
 
 
 

From a famous discovery, which produced a low number of specimen crystalized in a special habit - spinel-law twinning. The colour is light blue in the center, and lavender in the outer zones. Along the edges you can see darker zoning, which tend to very deep violet. The crystal is resting on a small white plate of feldspat. It is complete and well formed all around. The saturation is better than average and also quality and clarity are remarkable for this find. The composition of the two freestanding crystals is very aesthetic! No significant damages to report.

The main crystal in the center is up to 16mm on edges. Fluorite shows intense yellow colour and very nice contrast with matrix. The matrix is covered with tiny quartz crystals, which show red-brown color, caused by hematite inclusions. The shape is very 3-dimensional and very eye-catching.


A550 - Fluorite on Sphalerite - SOLD
Dal'negorsk, Primorskiy Kray, Far-Eastern Region, Russia
Size: 6.2 x 5.3 x 3.9 cm
 
 
 

This is a complete crystal – not contacted or extracted backside. The single Fluorite crystal is 47 x 34 x 33mm tall. It consists of uncountable tiny steps, which are all sharp terminated. Uncountable faces, all lustrous. The crystal is attractively set on a jet-black and glossy thin Sphalerite crystal. There are no damages or contacts along the edges of the crystal, these are all micro steps or modifications. The crystal shows very fine clarity – much better in person. Only caused by these many steps you cannot see the clarity on my photo well. The crystal is not completely colorless, there is just a touch of lavender when you hold it in front of neutral background. The assemble is really exciting in person. The Sphalerite is just 8mm thick and the Fluorite is exactly in the middle – not only the middle from left to right, also from front to back. No significant damages to report, much better in person, highly recommended.
