Fluorite with Calcite

LOCATION:

Moscona Mine, Villabona mining area, Solís, Corvera de Asturias, Asturias, Spain

DESCRIPTION:

This double-sided cluster of lustrous, transparent, yellow cubes of Fluorite to 9 mm just sparkles with yellow-metallic Pyrite microcrystals on its surfaces. The rear is mostly covered with lustrous, translucent, clear to white Calcite rhombs to 13 mm. Though the Fluorite crystals are clean and in good condition, there is some damage around the margin as expected for such a large specimen, and a few of the Calcites on the reverse are slightly bruised. This is a nice older specimen found prior to the mid 1980s.

SIZE: 69 x 63 x 38 mm overall (Small Cabinet)
