Item Description
A classic and excellent combination specimen from the famous Elmwood Mine. A 1.7 x 1.6 x 1.5 cm, lustrous, translucent, fluorite cube is aesthetically set on splendent, partially gemmy, rubyjack sphalerite crystals. The fluorite has intense, stepped-growth faces, giving a flashy, scintiallating look and classic, darker purple, edge phantoms surrounding a gorgeous, rich grape-purple core. This beautiful fluorite is complete and very nearly pristine, with only very trivial cornerwear on one corner. A very fine, older combination specimen from this noted locale. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
