Spain’s Berbes area is a classic worldwide locality for fluorite, and this is a choice cabinet-size example with extremely gemmy, color-zoned violet crystals with iron-stained bladed white barite crystals which contrast nicely with the fluorite. The fluorite crystals are up to 2.4 cm on edge and have great color-zoning and phantoms. Ex. Raul Sanabria collection. Classic! Mark Cross photo.
