Item Description

A classic and aesthetic Elmwood combination specimen. The large, glassy, translucent, fluorite cube has pretty light violet color-zoning and very fine, dense, stepped growth faces, that scintillate and shimmer in light. The scattered clusters of creamy, bladed barite are a super accent and add much character. There is some rubyjack sphalerite on the back of the piece. The frontal display view is very nearly pristine, with only very trivial brusing to the upper right-hand corner. This is a dramatic, colorful and excellent Elmwood combination specimen and comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $125, for free.
