Item Description

Glassy nailhead calcite disks, to 2.3 cm, aesthetically cap the mounded cluster of green "ice" fluorite cubes with lightly frosted faces. The frontal view is pristine. A very fine two-sided combination with the light bruising to the calcites on the back being out-of-sight. Bright fluorescence to both speices! Classic and excellent combination material from this famous mine from the Cynthia Payne Calcite Collection. Valued by the former dealer at $350.
