Cubic Fluorite on Botryoidal Goethite — Boulder Hill Area, Nevada — 3.5 oz

One-of-one cubic fluorite specimen from the Boulder Hill Mine area, Wellington/Silver Glance Mining District, Nevada. Pale pink-to-colorless fluorite cubes emerge across richly textured botryoidal iron-oxide matrix, creating a dramatic contrast of geometric crystals and natural grape-like mineral growth.

• Locality: Attributed to the Boulder Hill Mine area, Silver Glance/Wellington Mining District, Lyon County, Nevada, USA
• Weight: 3.5 oz (99 g)
• Geological age: 100+ million years old (reported)
• Crystal habit: Cubic fluorite with botryoidal iron-oxide matrix
• Formation: Hydrothermal mineralization in fractures and cavities; fluorite crystallized as cubes while iron-bearing minerals later formed the dark botryoidal coating.
• Condition: Natural cabinet specimen with excellent contrasting textures. Minor contact wear may be present on delicate crystal edges; no repair observed.
• Treatment: No treatment reported.
