Calcite-with-Fluorite
specimen number:
2051268
location:
Boldut Mine, Cavnic, Maramures Co., Romania
description:
Spherical shaped white crystal grouping of calcite set on matrix with a small pale colorless fluorite crystal 1.0 cm on a diagonal. Crystallized fluorite is extremely rare from these mines in Romania. Many were sold in the 1990s as coming from Romania but were actually from Spain. Of course, the Romanians asked for a high price culling it rare. This one is legitimate and quite obvious with the associated calcite. This is a very good example. Measures 7.0 x 6.5 x 3.5 cm. Shipping weight: 0.39 pounds. Ex Phil Martin collection.
Size: 7.0 x 6.5 x 3.5 cm (small-cabinet)
Collection: Phil Martin
