17.9 x 11.9 x 5.4 cm. A large plate of glassy, light green fluorites from Xianghualing. The crystals measure to 4 cm along the edge, and are razor sharp.
23.4 x 14.5 x 11.0 cm. Beautifully complexly formed fluorite with incredibly ornate surfaces covered with pebbly faces. The colors are subtle hues of purple and a bit of green.
15.1 x 10.9 x 4.4 cm. These razor-sharp fluorite octahedrons embedded in stark white contrasting quartz were the big find of the year they came out. There are at least 2 dozen deep purple crystals here, measuring up to around 3.5 cm tip-to-tip.
8.8 x 7.0 x 4.8 cm. These razor-sharp fluorite octahedrons embedded in stark white contrasting quartz were the big find of the year they came out. This specimen has crystals up to 4 cm along the edge from tip to middle - with just a bit of the white quartz showing to add contrast.
7.5 x 6.9 x 4.9 cm. A cluster of crystals of blue fluorite, with a patch of purple, from the Blanchard - nicely perched on a bed of quartz crystals. The fluorites measure to 1.4 cm on edge.
11.8 x 10.8 x 7.4 cm. This was a very short-lived find that did not turn out many specimens. This is a superb example from the find. It is a translucent, glowing green dome on a matrix of quartz and there is a secondary generation of fluorite which grew on top of the original dome, and formed these interesting octahedrons.
5.9 x 5.2 x 3.4 cm. A fine Riemvasmaak fluorite with good green color and clarity. The largest crystals measure 3.5 cm along the edge.
12.4 x 11.9 x 7.2 cm. Botryoidal fluorites are rare, so this find of large specimens of botryoidal purple fluorite caused a huge stir when it appeared. Here is a large specimen, a thick crust of multitudinous bubbly forms and "fingers".
12.9 x 6.5 x 5.5 cm. A fine Riemvasmaak fluorite on a shard of matrix. The crystals are wonderfully sharp octahedrons with superb green color and fine clarity.
8.2 x 5.8 x 4.2 cm. A fine, large, horseshoe-shaped cluster of intergrown, beautifully gemmy and lustrous, cherry-red rhodochrosite rhombs set atop a goethite-lined vug from the Uchucchacua Mine of Peru. This piece is accompanied by a small cluster of frosted fluorite octahedrons. The rhodochrosites are wrapped around a goethite stalactite.
3.4 x 3.4 x 3.0 cm. A fine, 3 crystal cluster of water-clear, "invisible", very pastel-pink fluorite cubes attached to a bit of bladed baryte from the Berbes area of Spain.
7.8 x 5.4 x 4.8 cm. A fine, complete all-around and undamaged cluster of glassy, purple, stair-stepped fluorite cubes from the famous Shangbao Mine of China. Scattered clusters of quartz needles are a very nice accent and the fluorites are attached to thin crust of quartz. The cube faces of the fluorite are water-clear, while the micro stair-steps have a nifty, frosted appearance.
8.0 x 8.0 x 6.8 cm. A fine combination specimen from the small, but well-known old quarry at Bergheim, Alsace, France. A band of sharp, lustrous, translucent, purple fluorite cubes is attractively sandwiched between lustrous, off-white baryte blades on top and a "porch" of massive limestone beneath. The large fluorite cube is 2.0 cm and is pristine. The jackstraw pattern of the baryte blades against the purple fluorite cubes really sets this fine piece off. Ex. George Elling Collection.
11.0 x 9.0 x 3.5 cm. A fine cabinet combination specimen of purple fluorite perched atop bladed celestine from Musquiz, Mexico from the Consie Prince and Dave Stoudt Mexican Collections. Translucent, intergrown, rich purple fluorite cubes are attached to snow-white, saw-toothed celestine blades. From the private collection of dealer Consie Prince to collector Dave Stoudt.
7.9 x 5.4 x 4.8 cm. A fine cluster of French fluorite from Le Burg, with large crystals and beautiful teal-blue color. There are faint phantoms inside, and hints of purple. The largest crystal measures 2.3 cm along the edge.
