AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Large fluorite specimen from Balochistan, Pakistan, with clearly visible cubic crystals and a natural, raw, very tactile appearance. The surfaces show growth steps, satinized areas and glossier parts at the edges, with a gray-blue tint that changes a lot with light.

The piece has an almost wild character, not too “clean,” and it is precisely this that makes it fascinating. With a lamp placed underneath, the fluorite shows good internal transparency, with cool bright passages and slightly more milky areas. Inclusions and natural traces of brown-red matrix are present, visible especially on the back and in some cavities.

Integrity is good for a specimen of these dimensions and with this rough growth. There are small irregularities, abrasions and natural signs of contact on the edges, consistent with the piece’s structure.

Weight: 3.596 kg
Dimensions: 18 x 12.5 x 12.5 cm
Origin: Balochistan, Pakistan
