AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful Fluorite from Balochistan with a very rich crystallization, formed by numerous overlapping cubic crystals and stepped growth, creating a complex and dynamic surface.
The tones are predominantly gray, with lighter and translucent zones and widespread oxidation present in brown-reddish tones.
Particularly interesting is the structure of the crystals, well visible even in close-up photographs: the faces show repeated stepped geometries and overlaps that give depth to the entire specimen.
In some areas the Fluorite exhibits good translucency. Backlit photographs show how light passes through the lighter crystals, highlighting warmer internal hues and the different transparency of the various areas.
The specimen is of considerable size and crystallization that continues laterally as well, making it interesting to observe from several angles.
