This rare pastel-pink Fluorite specimen features beautifully etched surfaces, created naturally through geological dissolution processes that soften the crystal edges and give the piece its unique sculpted texture. The gentle pink color — already uncommon in Fluorite — combined with natural etching makes this specimen especially desirable for collectors.

Sourced from the Shigar Valley, Skardu District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, an area renowned for producing exceptional pink and etched Fluorite crystals, this piece reflects the region’s signature mineral aesthetics.

Mounted on a clear acrylic base, the specimen is ready to display and brings a refined, elegant presence to any mineral shelf or collection.
