Description from the seller
Large fluorite specimen from Balochistan, Pakistan, characterized by a fascinating ice-gray hue. The specimen consists of a dense growth of closely interpenetrating cubic crystals, forming a compact and scenographic structure. The crystal surfaces show evident natural growth steps, well-developed and distributed over much of the sample, imparting depth and an interesting play of reflections.
The fluorite exhibits good translucence, particularly noticeable when viewed against light, where the delicate color and the internal crystal structure emerge more clearly. The photographs clearly show this effect, which further enhances the specimen. There are some natural imperfections and slight chipping at the margins of some crystals, consistent with the size and delicate nature of the mineral, without compromising the overall aesthetic impact.
A large-format specimen, with very expressive crystallization and an elegant color, ideal for mineral collections or as a display piece.
Provenance: Balochistan, Pakistan
Weight: 8.062 kg
Dimensions: 25 × 23.5 × 13.5 cm
