Item Description

Classic, beautiful "Blanchard blue" fluorite cubes cover the quartz matrix on this showy and excellent mounded specimen from this noted New Mexico locale. The lustrous, translucent cubes reach 2.9 cm and have frosted faces. Scattered modest bruising and the bit of periphery wear on one side are certainly only minimal detractions. The blue is much richer, than the photos show. Purple fluorescence.
