Lot 86 | FLUORITE WITH BARYTE
Estimate value
£ 2 000 – 3 000
From the Berbes Mining Area, the specimen features complex terminated fluorite cubes whose translucent cores gradually grow in saturation as they get closer to the surface in a delicate ombré pattern, culminating in sharply-defined, rich purple edges that perfectly outline each lustrous crystal face. The fluorites are well accented by an aptly sized cluster of whitish sheets of barytes that are archetypical of those found at Berbes, creating a handsome combination.
5 x 4 x 3in. (13 x 10 x 8cm.)
