Item Description
A stunning and aesthetic combination specimen from the famous Minerva # 1 Mine and the Dick Heck Collection. Tan calcite spikes are strikingly festooned on a perched, corroded, pretty powder-blue, fluorite cube. The matrix is calcite spikes and one end has tiny, lavender, fluorite cubes for addtional character. Some calcites are doubly terminated and the largest is 3.4 cm. The piece looks fabulous from either side and displays beautifully without aid! Purple fluorescence.
