Fluorite, Calcite on Quartz - Connecticut
This very aesthetic miniature-sized specimen features dark purple fluorite & tabular white to translucent calcite perched upon a bed of druzy quartz. It was mined by Jeremy Zolan (Zolan Mining) in New Haven, Connecticut around 2018. The fluorite has a stepped, botryoidal-like form and its dark purple coloration lends to an eye-catching contrast against the white bed of quartz, giving this piece a very sharp appearance that adds even more to its aesthetics. Fluorite of this quality is a rarity in Connecticut, typically getting scooped up into private collections rather quickly, so do not expect it to be available for long.
