Color-zoned Fluorite with Galena

Item Description

A showy and excellent small cabinet specimen of intergrown, translucent, "Blanchard-blue", fluorite cubes beautifully accented with cluster of frosted galena cubes. The cubes have nice purple edges. The photos highlight the translucency and color saturations, including the purple edges. The matrix is quartz on fluorite. The prominent, 1.5 x 1.4 cm cube has one trivial spot of edge wear. Modestly cleaved corners are noted on the periphery, but in the overall context, is a modest detraction. Nicely displayable in several orientations. Contemporary classic material.
