Item Description
An elegant fluorite and sphalerite combination miniature from this famed locale. A glassy, translucent, 3.0 x 2.8 x 2.7 cm cube with a light purple interior, fine darker edge phantoms and luminous, densely stepped-growth faces is jauntily set on the rubyjack sphalerite matrix. The cube is complete all-around and nearly pristine. A barely noticeable light edge bruise on an upper corner and an out-of-sight ding on a lower edge on the back are noted, but certainly have minimal impact to the over all excellent quality of this classic combination. Purple fluorescence.
