Purple Ojuela Fluorite UV Red Fluorescence Raw Limonite B Crystal Cluster Mineral Specimen Rocks and Minerals Ojuela Mine Mexico

This specimen is a beautiful example of crystal fluorescence! This is a unique cluster of distinctive bright purple fluorite, on a matrix of limonite (weathered iron minerals). The cluster is composed of layers of richly shaded minerals and matrix rock, with a raw and organic texture that is unshaped and unpolished. (There are broken terminations and raw damage areas, and condition has been factored into price.) The purple fluorite in this specimen also fluoresces brightly under UV—it is a super unusual cherry red shade of fluorescence that is a signature reaction of Ojuela fluorite! This small specimen is a striking and unique display piece, and would offer a lot of beauty to any specimen collection. Ojuela mine is considered one of, if not the most, important source for minerals in Mexico! It is known for world class examples of paradamite, austinite, legrandite, wulfenite, aurichalcite, mimetite, rosasite, and fluorite. Ojuela mine has more than 350 years of history as far back as
