Item Description
Lustrous, gem, fluorite cubes have sharp color-zoning and are aesthetically intergrown on the quartz shard. The cubes, to 2.8 cm, have dense stepped-growth frosted faces dramatically accented with fortification features. A few faces are class-clear revealing the interior gemminess. This is a beautiful and typical fluorite style and color from this famous Asturias mine. Purple fluorescence. Choice material from the Raul Sanabria Collection and obtained in October, 2002. The piece has multiple fine display views.
