Color-zoned Fluorite w/ Sphalerite & hydrocarbons (Zerfass Coll.)

Item Description

Dramatically intergrown gemmy color-zoned fluorite cubes are richly peppered with sharp rubyjack sphalerite crystals on this impressive and sculptural large combination from Cave-in-Rock. The water-clear pretty light purple cubes have striking sharp violet edge phantoms and frosted faces. The dominating large cube is 2.8 cm. The trivial bit of bruising to the cubes and the periphery wear to the sphalerite are noted, but are certainly only modest detractions to this classic and excellent large combination from this famous locale. Purple fluorite fluorescence and surprising yellow hydrocarbon fluoresence. Ex Paul Zerfass Collection # 527.
