Large La Viesca Fluorite Cube (Ref: MU18-LAVCUB)
La Viesca Mine, Huergo, La Collada mining area, Siero, Asturias, Spain
72mm x 69mm x 70mm
minID: YHY-TQ0
Spanish fluorite is some of the most desireable in the world, and this specimen is a truly remarkable example. It's a single, large, phantom fluorite cube that measures a whopping 7cm on all edges! The cube is a pale blue, and inside of it is a purple phantom which is more visible in person that in the photos. The edges have the stepped growth which makes it immediately identifyable as a La Viesca specimen. Even though the backside shows where the cube broke off of its host at some point in its life, the exposed area has continued to grow and recrystalize on it's own, so this specimen is a floater with no significant surface damage, but does show some internal cleavages. When we first saw this fluorite we said "Wow!" and we know you will too!Sorry. This specimen has been sold.
