Item Description
A 3.8 cm, gem fluorite cube is the focal point of this showy, excellent and uncommon large combination piece from this noted Asturias locale and the Herb Obodda dealer stock. The intensely stepped-growth cube has a pretty sky-blue interior with purple edge phantoms. Unusually modified, smaller cuboctahedral fluorites with bulging faces, sparkly drusy quartz, two calcite scalenohedrons to 3.0 cm on one edge and scattered frosted barite blades beautifully compliment the mounded matrix. Displaying very well from two sides, Herb valued this uncommon combo piece at $500, five or more years ago. Purple fluorescence.
