Aesthetically nestled in a vug of lustrous and translucent, colorless colorless quartz crystals to 1 cm in length, is a single lustrous and gemmy, doubly-terminated octahedron of light emerald-green fluorite. The superb fluorite measures 3 cm in length and glows when backlit. It is totally seethru and pristine. Comes with a custom lucite base for display.

A crust of green fluorite along with drusy quartz is the host for an exceptional octahedral crystal of lustrous and gemmy, rich emerald-green fluorite. The fluorite crystal measures 4.7 cm in length, and exhibits superb gemminess when even moderately backlit (glowing green, flanked by the white quartz). In fact one can see through the crystal all the way. Comes with a custom lucite base for display. This piece is absolutely pristine, and razor sharp in its crystal formation.

This is a impressive cluster of RAZOR SHARP, gemmy, octahedral fluorites with unusually strong emerald-green color (intense even by the standards of this find). The largest crystal, at the top of the cluster, measures 2.7 cm on a side - and all the crystals apper to be pristine, all around 360 degrees! This is as sharp as it gets , the crystals so finely formed, perfect, and see-thru that it is hard to believe its actually this pristine despite its exposed points. Comes with a custom lucite base for display.

A thin crust of quartz, with crystals reaching 1 cm in length, is the matrix for a beautifully nestled octahedral, gemmy, emerald-green fluorite crystal that measures 3.7 cm across. As with others in this pocket, it is RAZOR SHARP, pristine, and completely transparent. When backlit, one can see through the crystal all the way to its matrix. For added measure there is a smaller, finely crystallized fluorite attached to the larger one. The association with quartz, how the fluorite is perched up as if in a tree of quartz, really adds to its appeal as a specimen. Comes with a custom lucite base for display.

A starkly perched, SHARP, forest-green octahedral fluorite is placed aesthetically on a small pedestal of smaller green fluorite coated with colorless quartz druse. This dominating, upright crystal is lustrous and gemmy, with a rich emerald green color, and measures a full to 4.7 cm on edge and about 6 cm in height. When backlit, the crystal literally glows - more intensely than most others here due to a slightly darker color, that is about the most intense this deposit has produced. There is a very slight, shallow but detracting ding on the tip which reduces the price, but otherwise the front face and display terminations are complete and it looks like it should be far more pricy. When backlit the crystal literally glows. Amazing and appealing! This piece is outstanding in its impact, more so in person. Despite the (very small) ding atop, I love this piece for the size and price range. Comes with a custom lucite base for display.

A pristine, SHARP, forest-green octahedral fluorite is perched aesthetically on a crust of smaller green fluorites coated with colorless quartz druse. This starkly upright crystal is lustrous and gemmy, with a rich emerald green color, and measures to 4.2 cm on edge and about 5 cm in height. When backlit, the crystal literally glows - more intensely than most others here due to a slightly darker color, that is about the most intense this deposit has produced. I like the way the finger of crystallized quartz reaching around to cradle the crystal adds stability and contrast. The back side has very minor contact but is technically complete as well. Overall, this is one of the more balanced, appealing pieces in its size range I have handled from this deposit, and is very choice in its qualities. Comes with a custom lucite base for display.

Fluorite octahedrons from Naica have never been common compared to the cubic habit, and less so in green color. The octahedrons reach 3 cm across on a side and are slightly frosted, lustrous, translucent and generally colorless in the outer layers. However, they have a rich green color center that emanates from the bottom of the specimen. Compelling, and unique overall! the piece is complete all around.

Perched aesthetically on matrix, like a halo, are lustrous and transparent GEM crystals of rich, purple-colored fluorites to 2 cm across. The fluorite crystals fluoresce an unusual cherry red color. Tis was one of the very top specimens from a small pocket found in around 2007-2008, which was brought out of Mexico by dealer and collector Jason New. They were expensive even down in Mexico at the time. Once here, he kept nearly all major pieces including this one, and this was in his special exhibit at Tucson of 2010. I later bought the entire case from Jason, including this specimen. A few minor abrasions do not detract from this aesthetic specimen, because of the significance of this find - still unique in quality and style for Ojuela fluorites. The piece has color and impact for its aesthetics, and is one of a very rarified number of Ojuela fluorites that could hold their own in a worldwide fluorite collection. Joe Budd photos (upper row). Note not from the Heck collection as is the rest of this update...INTERESTINGLY, THIS PIECE FLUORESCES RED UNDER ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT

Complex once you look closely...A rhombohedral, lustrous, white, calcite crystal of 4.5 cm across is emplaced on a sulfide matrix along with a few crystals of lustrous and translucent, colorless fluorite crystals to 1 cm across. Most of the calcite rhomb has then been enveloped by a doubly terminated, large, second-generation calcite crystal that mesaures 8 cm across, exhibiting numerous dog tooth terminations. This crystals is lustrous and translucent, ivory colored; and as a bonus it fluoresces a superb, deep, reddish- orange color. Oddly, the original rhomb has a surface fluorescence of light purple. This is an interesting and aesthetic specimen
