DESCRIPTION:

Nice lot of Paraiba Blue to Minty Green Fluorite Cabbing & some Faceting Rough from Nigeria. This lot was  sent to us as a sample from Nigeria; however, most of this is cabbing grade and we don't anticipate on getting more of this Nigerian Fluorite due to a large Afghan Fluorite shipment that will be coming several weeks down the road. This lot is being sold as cabbing grade and should be purchased as such! Most of these stones are nice and chunky with roughly 20% being medium to high facet grade. Most of this material is compact and should cut very well. We are blowing this lot away as we already have a source for Fluorite that is considerably cheaper than Nigerian sources.
COOL FACTS:

  1. Nigeria has begun to produce Fluorite that rivals some of Afghanistan best in color and size. The material from Nigeria tends to have a greener and/or Purpler overtone; however, the material is available in nice water worn nodules.
