ROMERO-03
Fluorite on Pyrite
Gibralter Mine, Naica, Chihuahua, Mexico
Small Cabinet, 6.6 x 5.6 x 4.3 cm
SOLD
Starkly isolated, discrete, modified cubes of glassy and gemmy, colorless crystals of fluorite, to 1.7 cm, are emplaced on a beautifully contrasting, brassy yellow druse of pyrite. Brown sphalerite crystals with gemmy highlights sit on the periphera of the specimen. The fluorite crystals are exceptionally well formed and the color and texture contrast is amazing. Small crystals, but big impact in this specimen! NOTE - not from the Romero collection but fit in well with the Mexican theme of this update and so was posted here
