Item Description
Certainly, one of the more unusual and desirable fluorite varietals from the famed Elmwood Mine - the etched fluorite corner. They have a unique and distinct scepter look. This one is even more desirable, as a classic, 4.4 cm, gemmy, amber, calcite crystal is expertly set on the fluorite. This excellent piece has two glassy corners. The striking etch patterns and the purple with light amber interiors make for a showy piece. The glassy, pyramidal faces are water-clear and you can look right into the interiors. This dramatic specimen is complete all-around and very nearly pristine, with only a gently cleaved termination and trivial edge wear to the calcite. This piece goes back to the 70s or 80s. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!! Valued $800-1000 generally, for a double corner and calcite combo like this
