Item Description
A striking and unusual combination specimen from this noted locale. Frosted, pearlescent barite spear-points nearly totally enclose an etched, translucent, golden-amber fluorite cube on this showy and classic combination specimen from the Annabel Lee Mine of Southern Illinois. Very uncommon in this combination form and completeness of the fluorite. These were always rare and highly treasured and valued, by the local miners. Ex Charelle and James Webb Collection.
