Item Description

A cluster of purple fluorites from the Elmwood Mine, from which specimens are now fairly uncommon, since the closing of the mine a few years back. These crystals measure to 3 cm along the edge, and have complex micro-stepped faces. They have a wonderful purple glow to them. One decent-sized corner cleave; the rest of the damage is fairly tiny corner damage and the usual stuff around the periphery from removal from matrix. As you can see, the specimen displays very well.
