Item Description

Fabulous, color-zoned fluorite cubes to 3.7 cm are jauntily set on starkly contrasting, snow-white, nubby, botryoidal, barite on this excellent combination piece from the famed Cave-in-Rock District of Illinois. Water-clear, pretty purple fluorite covers the core of translucent, super-intense, golden-amber. A beautiful and striking RARE combination for fluorite from this noted locale.
