Item Description
A very fine large 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. There are about nine larger pairs of interpenetrating twins, with crystals up to 2.0 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). Valued at $1250-1500.
