Item Description
A gorgeous, and superb quality "water-green" color, WATER CLEAR, sharp, semi lustrous, intergrown, "stepped" and modified cubic crystal group of Fluorite with minor associated Sphalerite and Quartz. This piece is not from a recent find at the mine, but actually over 30 years ago (late 1970s). For the quality and overall aesthetics, it is a sweet small cabinet from this incredible mine. The piece came from the well known collection of Richard A. Kosnar. If you like Fluorites, do not miss out on this one. The color is really hard to reproduce in the photos, and because it's so gemmy with such a subtle yet strong color, you have to see it in person to truly appreciate it. Valued at $1400 retail.
