Dims : 21.6 cm long x 15.24 cm wide x 11cm tall (8.5" x 6" x 4")

Largest cube : 8.9 cm x 9.52 cm accross front and middle edge

Bottom has Quartz on it, which I am told is rare for this location.

Weight 6.3 lbs

I dont see too many fluorites this big, so I am not sure what value this could have.

That you have a vert specific locality is a plus.

The color appears dark and the clarity is translucent. I see one major corner cleave front and center in the first picture. Despite closure of the mines, Cave-in_rock Distrioct material still remains plentiful. These are minuses.

In my booth at a show I might price this piece at $200-$250 (and probably happily accept less).
