Item Description
A classic and excellent fluorite combination specimen from the famous Elmwood Mine. The highly lustrous, translucent cubes, to 3.4 cm, have intense, stepped-growth faces, giving a shimmering, scintillating look and classic, rich grape-purple, edge phantoms surrounding the light purple to near-colorless core. The ribbons and field of sparkly dolomite rhombs are a fine compliment to this piece. The fluorites are nearly pristine, with only trivial corner and edge wear. A fine, older specimen from this noted locale with multiple display possibilities. Valued at $300-400. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
