Fluorite is not especially common in Australian collections, which makes this beautifully formed octahedral example from the Soldiers Cap Domain particularly appealing. The crystals are very clearly developed, with crisp geometry and a strong contrast against the iron stained matrix that is so characteristic of the material.
The colour is concentrated toward the crystal tips with richer purple zoning, while the paler body of the fluorite allows that variation to remain especially visible in natural light.
Interestingly, the piece is also genuinely double sided, with well formed crystals continuing across both the upper and lower surfaces. There are therefore several strong display options.
A very attractive Australian fluorite with clear octahedral form, beautiful zoning and plenty of character from every angle.
