Item Description

Highly lustrous, large fluorite cubes form an impressive large specimen from recent Mexican finds. The cubes have stepped-growth faces and reach 5.3 cm. The largest cubes are opaque, while the smaller cubes on one edge GLOW with rich grape-purple translucence when backlit. This showy and excellent large piece is in great shape, with just a few gently bruised corners. It displays well from either side. Interestingly, no fluorescence on this piece.
