Fluorite Specimen - Height: 22.5 cm - Width: 15.5 cm- 3.45 kg - (1)

An important fluorite specimen from Balochistan, Pakistan, characterized by an unusually striking crystal growth and of notable mineralogical interest.

The specimen consists of two fluorite laminae arranged almost parallel and back-to-back. The outer surfaces feature rich crystallization of fluorite cubes, well developed and distributed on both faces of the specimen, a relatively uncommon characteristic that gives the sample a particularly dramatic appearance.

Between the two laminae there is a natural cavity that does not derive from a fracture or a cut, but represents a trace of dissolution. It is likely that originally the two inner surfaces were adherent to another mineral, subsequently dissolved during geological processes, leaving the characteristic fissure that runs through the specimen.

The crystals display a delicate gray-blue coloration, with good transparency and the typical vitreous luster of fluorite. Locally there are light natural oxidations that attest to the formation of the mineral without compromising its aesthetics.

A rare and interesting specimen, combining beautiful crystallization with a particular geological conformation, making it a piece of great interest for the collector.
