Item Description
Classic, color-zoned, fluorite cubes look great on top of either side of this of this showy and excellent, two-sided, CABINET, specimen from the famous Minerva #1 Mine. The glassy, transparent, lightly frosted crystals (to 3.5 cm) have classic Minerva Mine color-zoning with pretty and sharp, zoned blue and purple outsides surrounding amber cores. Very modest periphery wear is noted to some of the fluorites, but is certainly a modest detraction. This remains an impressive example of the species and noted locale. Ex Larry Krause dealer stock. Modest deep purple fluorescence.
