LARGE FLUORITE

LARGE FLUORITE

Emilio Mine, Caravia District, Asturias, Spain

Overall dimensions are 10 x 6 x 4 ½ inches (25.4 x 15.2 x 11.4 cm). The largest crystals are 5.5cm on edge. Two small restorations ameliorate mining induced crystal damage.

A SPANISH MINERAL FAVORITE. Fluorites from Asturias are both European and American favorites. Here we have highly modified cubes of an interesting bluish/purplish hue.
