Item Description
Classic, "Blanchard blue" fluorites are always desirable. A 3.6 x 3.4 x 3.0 cm, lustrous, translucent, crystal with beautiful blue color saturation and striking, purple, color zoning on the edges with smaller fluorite cubes make up this showy and excellent specimen from this famous locale. The trivial edgewear is barely noticeable and is a very modest detraction. The UNRETOUCHED backlit photos highlight the gorgeous color saturations and color zoning.
