Item Description

Fluorite and sphalerite combination specimens are an Elmwood classic and this is an aesthetic thumbnail example. A very pretty light purple fluorite cube is elegantly perched on the side of a sharp, splendent, partially gemmy, twinned, rubyjack sphalerite crystal. The crystals are dramatically set atop starkly contrasting, sparkly, snow-white matrix. The sphalerite is pristine all-around and the fluorite has only a gentle cleave at the bottom of the crystal. Very showy combo material. NOT JUST AN AVERAGE THUMBNAIL! Ex Gene Wright Collection.
