Item Description
Fluorite specimens from the Kentucky portion of the famed Illinois-Kentucky Fluorspar District were seldom preserved and hence, are seldom on the market. This is a showy, 3-dimensional cluster of intergrown, translucent, light gray fluorite cubes, with a hint of interior yellow, grading upward to a very pleasing, light purple. The darker purple edges are particulary STRIKING and add great beauty. The large, purple cube on the crest is 2.5 cm. CHOICE material from the Mullane Collection. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
