Item Description

Classic and colorful sharp color-zoning is the signature feature of this impressive intergrown cluster of fluorite cubes from the well-known locale. The sharp purple interior phantoms are surrounded by the beautiful powder-blue outer layer. The small inner core is straw-yellow. The large cube on the left is 5.4 cm on edge and the dusting of tiny iridescent chalcopyrites adds pizzazz. Contacting on the lower right front has no damage, per se and the corner ding on the left side of the large cube can be strongly minimized by the correct display view. A classic and excellent large Annabel Lee Mine fluorite. From an East Coast collection with a $2000 price on the back of the label.
