Item Description

An aesthetic large Elmwood combination of intergrown, translucent and lustrous, color-zoned cubes, to 4.7 cm, with pretty light lavender interiors and nifty narrow, darker purple edge phantoms. The cube faces have scintillating dense stepped-growth. Clusters of creamy bladed barite and a bit of rubyjack sphalerite on the lower left corner are classic accessories to this showy and excellent piece from the Bob Trimingham Collection. The display face is in great shape, with two gently bruised fluorite corners and noted lower perihery wear. Bright light purple fluorescence.
