Item Description

Glassy, highly lustrous, nearly colorless fluorite cubes have beautiful purple edge zoning and striking, lightly frosted faces with unusual, limited stepped-growth. The aesthetically set cubes are up to 3.0 cm and rest on splendent, partially gemmy, rubyjack sphalerite crystals. The form of these fluorites are dramatic, unusual and uncommon. The fluorites are very nearly pristine, with only one or two spots of barely noticeable cornerwear. Certainly not a detraction. Excellent combination material from this famous and now-closed locale. Ex Zukowski Collection. Get a good one while you can. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
