No. Fluor Dream 12082
Fluorite (phantoms) on Albite with Quartz (var: Smoky) -
$400

This is one of the best specimens of this material that I have seen. It is a very three-dimensional piece with dozens of sharp, gemmy, lilac to purple color phantom crystals of cubic Fluorite which are sitting all around a snow-white matrix of Albite and are associated with a few accenting, gemmy Smoky Quartz crystals. This one certainly would not disappoint as it very dramatic and eye-catching for this locality.

Fluorite on Albite and Microcline with Montmorillonite (?) -
$135

If nothing else, this is a very attractive Feldspar specimen comprised of white Albite and lustrous, unusually curved pink Microcline crystals which host a few small, pale lilac, sharp, gemmy Fluorite cubes. On the reverse side of the specimen there are a few small vugs filled with a bright yellow clay mineral (most likely Montmorillonite), which is the first time I have seen this species from this locality.

Fluorite (phantoms) on Albite with Thorianite (?) -
$225 (SOLD)

A sweet Fluorite specimen from this locality with several nearly water-clear, sharp, lilac to purple cubic phantom crystals which are resting upon a mound of white snowball like Albite. There is a small vug on the reverse of the specimen with some small crude crystals of what I believe to be Thorianite based upon previous finds at this locality. There is a close up photo of these crystals above.
