AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Natural fluorite with a white mineral association – Beluchistan, Pakistan
An important specimen of natural fluorite from Beluchistan, Pakistan, characterized by large interconnected crystals in gray-lilac color, with translucent zones that allow the internal structure of the mineral to be observed.
The surfaces show pronounced step-like growth and particular forms of natural dissolution. Among the crystals there is a white mineral material, partly compact and partly crusty, that penetrates into some cavities and is visible also through the more transparent portions of the fluorite. Its composition has not been analyzed and is therefore left unidentified.
The cavities, irregularities and seemingly corroded areas are part of the specimen’s natural formation and create an interesting contrast between the gray-translucent fluorite and the white mineralizations.
The back of the specimen presents a naturally granular structure that may release a small amount of material if handled. This is a natural feature of the mineralization and does not compromise the overall solidity of the sample.
Weight: 2.530 kg
Dimensions: 22 × 17 × 5 cm
Origin: Beluchistan, Pakistan
Specimen photographed from several angles to accurately show transparencies, surfaces and natural features.
Colors may vary slightly depending on the device and screen settings used to view the images.
