NSMW10812
Stacked group of translucent to transparent sea green fluorite, zoned with clear overgrowths and numerous white inclusions (likely barite). The form is basically cubic with nearly equal development of dodecahedrons. These were produced years ago during the fantastic days of the Naica fluorite 'machine', one of the largest fluorite locations in Mexico. It was first acquired by Mel & Grace Dyck and subsequently brokered to Kristalle who liquidated their collection. Gail Hall acquired the piece in 1998 and labeled it K 98-01. In perfect condition and displays from a variety of angles equally well.
