Item Description

A classic and showy Clay Center specimen with well-placed fluorite cubes, to 1.5 cm, exhibiting bi-colored, cognac to brown color with high luster and nifty gemmy corners. Scattered celestine blades are a nice accent. This older piece is from 1980s finds. It has fine display quality from two directions. The major fluorites are pristine and the noted periphery wear is only a modest detraction. An excellent older example for the size. Fluorescent ghostly white under UV light. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection.
