Item Description
A 1.6 x 1.4 x 1.3 cm, light "Blanchard-blue" fluorite cube beautifully set on vuggy quartz crystal matrix from the famous Blanchard Mine of New Mexico. The isolation of the single, lustrous, translucent and lightly frosted fluorite on this large of matrix is uncommon and exceptional. A specimen of this size usually has multiple fluorite crystals. The scattering of smaller, "ice-blue" fluorite cubes is a very nice accent. Contemporary classic material.
