Item Description

A classic, very showy and colorful bi-colored fluorite from the famous Minerva Mine. The translucent golden-amber massive core is covered with beautifully glassy, highly lustrous, stepped-growth, light blue cubes with striking purple and teal-blue edge phantoms. The large cube is 3.3 cm. The interior is nearly pristine, with only slight edge wear to the large cube on this dramatic and very fine two-sided specimen. Modest purple fluorescence.
