Barite & Fluorite on Sphalerite

Item Description

An aesthetic and impressive, large combination from the famous Elmwood Mine. Two bladed barite balls are dramatically set on the mounded matrix of rubyjack sphalerite crystals and are nicely accented by classic, translucent purple fluorite cubes with frosted, stepped-growth faces and a dusting of tiny dolomite crystals. The large cube is 2.3 cm and has a very gently bruised corner. The periphery wear on the upper right has minimal impact to the fine overall quality of this classic large combo. Faint purple fluorescence. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $235 (for free). 8.8 pounds or 4 kilos. Valued at $2500 by the former dealer.
