Item Description
Beautiful, gemmy, sky-blue, fluorite cubes cover the front and are strikingly bisected by a 2.8 cm tapered barite blade. Nifty sprays of water-clear, hemimorphite blades on the right side of the piece are a very fine accent. Hemimophite is RARE from the Sunshine no. 1 adit at Blanchard. The barite blade has a modest bit of edge wear, which is certainly not a detraction. An excellent, very showy and rare combination piece from Blanchard from the Paul Cowan Collection. Super purple fluorescence!
