Description from the seller
Purple Fluorite Specimen in Geode - Berbes, Ribadesella, Asturias, Spain - Collectible Mineral
Product Description:
For sale a magnificent specimen of natural fluorite from the classic and renowned locality of Berbes (Ribadesella), located in the Asturias region of Spain, one of the world’s most famous mining areas for the quality and aesthetics of its fluorite specimens.
The specimen features a superb geode cavity rich in well-defined cubic crystals, characterized by the typical and elegant violet coloration, fading from lighter, translucent lilac tones on the outer edges to a deep, intense purple at the heart of the geode. The crystals have polished faces with good internal transparency and the classic geometric color zoning, highly valued by collectors of this Spanish locality.
The fluorite rests solidly on its light native matrix, which frames the cavity and creates an exceptional color and visual contrast that enhances the brilliance of the violet cubes. A piece of high aesthetic quality, perfect for enriching any European mineral display.
Technical details and origin:
• Primary mineral: Purple fluorite
• Locality: Berbes, Ribadesella, Asturias, Spain
• Morphology: Cubic crystals inside a cavity/geode on matrix
• Origin: 100% natural (no chemical treatment or artificial coloring)
