Large and highly distinctive Fluorite on Smithsonite mineral specimen from the famous Ojuela Mine, Mapimí, Durango, Mexico, weighing 3 lb 2 oz (approximately 1.42 kg).This substantial cabinet specimen features numerous purple to violet fluorite crystals distributed across a highly textured yellow, olive, brown and dark oxidation-zone matrix. Crystal groups are concentrated heavily along several edges and sections of the specimen, providing excellent contrast against the unusually textured matrix.Under ultraviolet illumination, the specimen takes on a dramatic appearance. The included UV photographs show vivid violet/blue crystal response along with localized bright pink-red fluorescent areas, creating a completely different presentation from normal lighting.Specimen Details:* Minerals: Fluorite on Smithsonite
