Item Description

Super-rich grape-purple translucent, lustrous, fluorite cubes, to 6 mm, with satin luster faces cover the undulating surface of this most colorful and impressive miniature from an unknown Irish locale. Some of the cubes have striking stepped-growth, that really adds pizzazz. A couple of quarries in Connemara, County Galway produce fluorites of the rich purple hue and this is an excellent example. From the Allen Dillwith Collection.
