Item Description
A classic and excellent combination specimen from the famous Minerva # 1 Mine. Gemmy, highly lustrous, rich honey-colored, fluorite cubes have classic purple edge phantoms and lightly frosted/etched crystal faces. The fluorites are beautifully accented with splendent, partially gemmy, rubyjack sphalerite crystals. The piece is pristine, except for the very modest periphery wear. Mined in 1993. Ex Jesse Fisher and Joan Kureczka Collection. Valued at $1000-1250 for quality, color and combination.
