Panasqueira Mine, Covilha, Castelo Branco, Portugal
description:
While recently there have been some new finds a fine fluorite from this locality, in the old days fluorite was not often found. This is from that time period. Light purple translucent cubic crystals to 1.3 cm on edge are scattered over the top of a matrix of large bright lustrous arsenopyrite crystals, some of these to 4.0 cm. This is complete all-around and a floater, in very good condition with just minimal micro-cleaving present. Previous label from the fluorite collection of Herbert Obodda. Measures 9.0 x 7.5 x 3.0 cm overall. Shipping weight: 0.57 pounds. Ex Phil Martin collection.
Size: 9.0 x 7.5 x 3.0 cm (small-cabinet)
