Item Description

Fantastic plate of classic, deep-green GEMMY Fluorites from the famous Rogerley Mine in England. The luster is excellent, fluorescence superb, and the plate is covered by dozens upon dozens of crystals. On top of these are seven fairly large pairs of interpenetrating twins, each containing crystals ranging from about 1.2 cm to 1.4 cm on edge. In sunlight or even some halogen lights, it exhibits day-glow fluorescence and shows purple and green at the same time. Just an fine, aesthetic piece from modern operations here (collected in the last 10 years).
