Item Description

Stunning dark purple edge phantoms dramatically outline the lighter colored, mint-green, translucent fluorite cubes with stepped-growth, satin luster faces richly and attractively surrounding the starkly contrasting spherical clusters of druzy quartz on this sculptural and impressive large mounded combination. The surreal cubes reach 2.6 cm on edge. This is an outstanding example from a recent 2019 find at this well-known antimony-gold mine. Specimens of this unique style have trickled out from the mine over the last 10 years, but never in any quantity. Pristine, except for the acceptable periphery wear. Purple LW UV fluorescence. A choice example from the small lot we received.
