Item Description

Beautiful blue, glassy, transparent, fluorite cubes to 4.5 cm form a showy and excellent, elongated, CABINET specimen from the famous fluorite mines of Berbes, Spain. Some of the cubes are nicely accented with purple edge phantoms and the highly lustrous crystal faces have nifty, micro stepped-growth. Some periphery wear is noted. The piece displays nicely from several angles. This is a large, highly representative example of the species and locale and has outstanding blue color for the locality.
