Description

PINK & GREEN FLUORITE
Kavalerovo Mine, Kavalerovo, Primorskij Kraj, Siberia, Russia
At first glance, this specimen looks like it is from the singular 1980 find of pink Peruvian Fluorites. Upon closer inspection, the Quartz matrix belies that assumption - it is from an even more unusual locality: the Kavalerovo Mine of Siberia. These pink octahedral Fluorites have pale green centers and sit on Quartz encrusted matrix. It was acquired from Keith Procter in December 1997 by Ed David, whose label accompanies the specimen. Overall measurements are 4¾ x 3½ x 2 inches and it has a custom sculpted black base to hold the specimen upright.
