pink Fluorite - octahedrons on Muscovite (Ref: 8.AE-1003)
Chumar Bakhoor, Hunza Valley, Gilgit, Northern Areas, Pakistan
94mm x 57mm
A sizable matrix plate is the host for 5 main octahedra of pale pink Fluorite. A few smaller crystals are also included. The crystals reach 1.8 cm and are sharp, undamaged and distinct. From a brief period of productivity in Chumar Bakhoor, there has not been new finds for the past 2-3 years. Good pink Fluorite is uncommon and sought after. With few exceptions the best pinks have all come from Alpine clefts which by their nature are small and hard to find. This is such an Alpine piece, the color is not the most treasured deep pink, but it is still quite good and very well composed. Priced very well for the quality, rarity and size.From: Well-Arranged Molecules
