Item Description

Very interesting and artisic large fluorite from the famous Annabel Lee Mine of Hardin County. The sculptural very flattened, slender light violet crystal is water-clear gem with satin luster faces. Sharp purple edge phantoms, especially the fantastic stepped phantoms on the bottom are a superlative accent. In great shape, overall. The front and sharp top are pristine. The bottom, right side and back are contacted, but there is no damage, per se. The back is nicely accented with embedded tiny sparkly, golden chalcopyrites. The left edge is cleaved. Purple fluorescence. An unusual and excellent large fluorite from the locale.
