Item Description

A classic and aesthetic Clay Center specimen with a beautiful, 3.6 x 3.5 cm, fluorite cube exhibiting a rich cognac color in the interior with near colorless edge phantoms and outstanding luster and gemminess. This piece is from the major finds a few years ago. It has fine display quality and the very trivial bit of corner wear is barely noticeable. For added flavor the lustrous and colorless celestine blades and bit of limestone matrix dramatize the fluorite. An excellent example for the size. This is also highly fluorescent a ghostly white color under UV light. The former dealer label has a $350 price.
