Item Description
A classic and excellent, large combination specimen from the famous Elmwood Mine. Beautiful, lustrous, translucent, fluorite cubes to 2.0 cm are aesthetically festooned on mound of splendent, partially gemmy, rubyjack sphalerite crystals. The fluorites have intene, stepped-growth faces, giving a flashy, scintiallating look and classic, darker purple, edge phantoms surrounding the violet cores. Nearly pristine, with only trivial corner and edge wear to a couple of cubes. A very fine, older combination specimen from this noted locale from the Consie Prince Collection. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
