Item Description

Intergrown, gemmy, rich ice-blue fluorite cubes with frosted faces and nifty subtle purple interior highlights form a very colorful and aesthetic large specimen from the famous Minerva Mine. The large cube on the upper right is 3.0 cm on edge. Essentially pristine, with only trivial contacting and bruising to the large cube, which is mostly out-of-sight. A classic color and excellent large specimen from an East Coast collection. Moderate purple fluorescence.
