Fluorite meteorite specimen, weight 5.747 kg, dimensions 23 × 18 × 12 cm, from Belucistan, Pakistan.
Description from the seller
Important specimen of fluorite from Pakistan, Balochistan region, composed of a rich aggregate of well-developed cubic crystals.
The piece stands out for its very compact and three-dimensional structure.
The surfaces show a typical step-like growth, clearly visible especially in transmitted light, highlighting the internal geometries of the crystal.
In direct light, fluorite reveals good translucency with cool tones tending toward gray-blue. In some areas, internal bands and growth zones can be observed that may recall the so-called “phantom” effect. The commercial term “Blue Phantom” is sometimes used for this type of fluorite, but it is not an official mineralogical classification: in this case it is more correct to speak of internal zoning and visible growth phases.
Some photos show the transparency of the crystals using a small LED flashlight.
The contrast between lighter areas and those slightly darker creates visual depth and enhances the specimen as a whole. Some small natural inclusions and light traces of matrix are present and contribute to the piece’s authenticity.
A striking specimen, suitable for both collectors and as a display piece.
Origin: Pakistan, Balochistan
Weight: 5.747 kg
