Fluorite (large frosted octahedron)
Huayllapon Mine, Pasto Bueno District
Pallasca Province, Ancash Department, Peru
12.8 x 8.8 CM (cabinet)
price: $650
A large and fine single octahedron of mint green Fluorite with the very desirable "stipple faced" or melted look on the crystal faces. This Alpine Fluorite is sizable and impressive from a location that has not produced good material for many years. Pasto Bueno Fluorites are quite highly regarded, and and also rather distinctive. This one is in fine shape on the display side but it is cleaved where it was removed on the underside. Displays very well and a bargain for such a large crystal.
