Fluorite on Quartz
Fluorite on Quartz
An outstanding fluorite specimen on a quartz matrix from Mandrosonoro, Ambatofinandrahana District, Amoron'i Mania, Madagascar. This specimen features an assemblage of fluorite crystals on a matrix of quartz druse. The fluorite crystals are mostly a green color, with a thin blue zone at or near the surface - this final blueish zone causes an interesting color to the cube as a whole. You end up with a beautiful blue-green hue. The crystals are set on a matrix of off-white drusy quartz that formed over the host rock. This provides excellent contrast between the blue-green fluorite crystals and the off-white quartz matrix. The assemblage is very aesthetic - the fluorite crystals and groups are isolated from one another which gives good depth and composition to the piece. There is some damage - minor edgewear and small dings to corners, as well as several cleaved cubes near the bottom. Custom mounting is available at checkout.
