Item Description

Lustrous and translucent, light apple-green fluorite cubes with pretty light lavender edge phantoms are densely and attractively set on the mounded galena-rich matrix. The cubes, to 2.2 cm, have lightly frosted faces and they are all interpenetrating twins. This is a typical fluorite color from this less well-known mine, which is near the famous Rogerley Mine. The fine piece is in great shape, essentially pristine in the interior, with only the noted periphery wear. Rich purple fluorescence. Ex Larry Krause dealer stock.
