Iridescent Blue Fluorite (Pakistan)
This might be the largest iridescent fluorite we've brought in from Pakistan!
The base is a cluster of cornflower blue-grey cubes of fluorites with purple-pink undertones. On the surface is an iron coating, completely naturally-occurring, that is iridescent!
This happens because the pocket in which this fluorite was formed was rich in iron-based minerals.
What that means is that many of the faces reflect a rainbow of colours like an oil slick 🌈🌈🌈
Other features about this specimen:
The cubic crystals grow on both sides of the specimen, and there is also a significant layer of clay (which does not hide the iridescence).
Note: Do not clean this specimen - the iron coating is not permanently adhered to the surface of the fluorite and is very easily removed. If you want to DIY remove the clay, we suggest carefully testing on one cube face first.
13.9 x 11.6 x 4.4cm - 842g! It's almost 1kg!
