Quite unlike any other Fluorite, the famous iridescent crystals from Stoneco Auglaize quarry in Paulding County, Ohio, USA are spectacular on their own, but when accompanied by the slightly larger purple 'phantom' zoned crystals an even greater level of beauty is achieved. This magnificent elongated specimen displays a cavity completely coated with a combination of 4 to 7 mm wide brown to dark purple iridescent Fluorite crystals and larger, to 1.3 cm, transparent, glassy colour-zoned intense purple cubes. Exceptional in quality compared with other specimens seen illustrated online, this beauty comes from the collection of the Reverend Michael Keirle in Jersey.
