Item Description

A very aesthetic and classic combination specimen from the famous and now-closed Elmwood Mine. Two, gorgeous, purple fluorite cubes, to 1.9 cm, are jauntily set on either side of a sharp, highly lustrous, partially gemmy, rubyjack sphalerite crystal. The highly lustrous and translucent fluorites have beautiful purple color-zoning and and pronounced stepped-growth faces. This striking combination piece is pristine in the display view. The contacting on the back is out of sight. Way above average material from this renowned locale. Get a very good one while you can. Ex Jesse Fisher Collection. Valued at $400-600.
