Item Description

A striking, excellent and uncommon raspberry fluorite specimen from Elmwood, where grape-purple is the norm. The lighter pink shading with the darker color-zoned edges, scintillating intensely stepped-growth faces really gives this piece pazzazz. Technically, this is a floater. The back is contacted, has no damage, per se and has really dense, micro, stepped-growth faces. Very nearly pristine, with only one very gently bruised corner on the front. A classic and fine older example of this uncommon color. Valued at $400-500
