Fluorite on Quartz with Chalcedony

LOCATION:

El Portezuelo, Sierra de Ancasti, Catamarca Province, Argentina

DESCRIPTION:

Cubes of sea-green Fluorite with thin purple edges are perched on sparkly white Quartz points, all on a chalcedony matrix. The largest Fluorite is 8 mm on edge, and is in perfect condition. The only damage is along the specimens margins. Fingers covered with fine, sparkly Quartz points provide an interesting accent. These came out of Argentina prior to 2003 and are rarely found on the market.

SIZE: 66 x 65 x 44 mm overall (Small Cabinet)

COLLECTION: ex. Carolyn Seitz collection
