Calcite on Fluorite
Dimensions: 20 x 15 x 8cm
Location: Loralai District, Balochistan Region, Pakistan
Mineralogy never ceases to amaze! This fluorite covered in white calcite spheres is a perfect example. Originating from a little-known deposit in Balochistan, where calcite and fluorite are often found together, I have nevertheless never seen other similar specimens with such a formation, with this beautiful contrast of shape and color between the rather dark fluorite and the white calcite. Don't hesitate to display the specimen with soft backlighting to highlight the transparency and color of the fluorite. |
Dimensions without the acrylic base, which is supplied with the mineralogical specimen.
The mineral is not glued to the base (flexible sealant).
