Description
This is a particularly aesthetic fluorite specimen – the central pillar (or comb) of crystals has a wonderful slight curvature. The purple colour is zoned very near to the surface of the individual fluorite crystals, providing extra definition/distinction between the crystals, and overall adding to the three-dimensional appearance of the piece. In excellent condition and stands perfectly for display as photographed.
This piece is from the Tracy Kimmel Collection and has a fair number of credits along its provenance. It is ex. Jordi Fabre, ex. Jan Buma, ex. John Betts, ex. Greybill collection (labels from Jordi and Jan Buma are included) – it is on mindat with MinID# 3UL-KWL and is in John Betts’ Online Museum #25148. A beautiful Kentucky fluorite!
Please Note: the colour representation in the still photographs has been carefully calibrated and adjusted to show an accurate rendition of this specimen in daylight (shade). The colours in the video are not similarly adjusted.
