Fluorite Minerals are a personal Favorite of mine! This particular piece was picked up at the "Mineral City Show" (2020) where hundreds of vendors from all over the world showcase a massive and stunning variety of gems and minerals, most of which are Display or Museum Grade Pieces! This specimen was sourced directly from the local mineral expert who helped mine the piece.
Fluorite Specimens of this Massive Size & Quality are Incredible RARE as Mining & Extracting Minerals Results in the Destruction of Most Massive Aggregates into Smaller Far more Common Chunks.
The Clarity & Incredibly Vivid Color Exhibited by the Blue/Green Phantom-Like Crystals makes this a One-Of-A-Kind Piece!!
FANTASTIC ADDITION TO Any Museum-Grade Collection !

EST. RETAIL COST = >$10,000+ !!

ABOUT ME:
As a Tucson Local & Avid Collector of Mineral Specimens over the past 27 years of my life, I have come to greatly admire and enjoy the 2nd Largest Gem and Mineral Show in the World which takes place every year, for several weeks, during the months of January & February.
I have attended nearly ever show since 1st Grade, a Total of (15x) in my life & I wish to share my passion for unique mineral specimens with everyone, particularly those that don't get the opportunity to visit such grand event. My interest in minerals is so extensive that I dedicate part of my free time to visiting every booth and showcase spread throughout Tucson; that's (>40) Unique Shows, many of which showcase Hundreds of Vendors Individually!
During this extensive 3-week escapade I always purchase far too many mineral specimens, for the simple reason that there are always so many fantastic pieces you can't find anywhere else in the world. I rummage through literally 1000s of rocks and boxes to find ONLY the Specimens with the Greatest Value, Rarity and Visual Appeal.
Every single specimen we sell is carefully selected from my Favorite Vendors, sourced at the Lowest Wholesale & Keystone Prices Possible by Purchasing Large Quantities (Flats) at a time.
As an Avid Enthusiast, I Do Not Rely on Profits like so many other Dealers, I Simply Enjoy Collecting & Sharing finds with other Interested Collectors at more than Affordable Costs!
All Specimens are Far Less than Retail w/ (100%) of my Stock Falling b/t (40% - 60% or Greater) OFF RETAIL !!!
UPDATE: ALL New Listings will Now Include Professional Images of the Mineral Specimen !
