Item Description

A 4.2 cm, elongated, bladed barite "ball" is aesthetically set on the edge of this showy and excellent CABINET combination plate from this famous Elmwood Mine. Translucent with waxy luster, pretty light purple fluorite cubes to 2.0 cm have intricate, finely detailed stepped-growth faces and nifty interior speckles of darker purple fluorite. The fluorites rest on a matrix of highly lustrous, partially gemmy, rubyjack sphalerite. Classic combination material from the Consie Prince Collection. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
