You don’t find this kind of specimen on the market too often anymore!We purchased this antique Fluorite specimen in a collection many years ago from Dry Creek Minerals.
It is a beautiful oldy, being collected during the 1950’s!
Jay mentioned it was collected by the Belden Family of Auburn, CA on one of their many trips to the mines. This specimen comes with the old, original Dry Creek Minerals label protected in a Glassine envelope.
