A stunning fluorite miniature from a very special, small pocket found at Pointe Kurtz in the early 1990s (before the more well-known "red pocket" was found in around 1996 or 1997). As far as I know, most of this pocket was offered to Richard Kosnar for his collection, and there they stayed until he passed away recently. A piece from this pocket, from the Kosnar collection, was on a recent Min Record cover, and this piece comes from the same lot, having identical color in person. The color is an intense red-maroon hue, with a touch of purple at the barest edges of the crystals as you can see in the photo...really deeper than red or pink fluorite from other locales. These crystals are pristine and complete. This is a well-balanced miniature, with the crystals perched on crystallized adularia.
