Item Description

Gorgeous, glassy, transparent, twinned purple fluorite crystals totally cover this dramatic, large, sculptural ridge and valley plate from the famous Frazers Hush Mine. The gemminess of these crystals is spectacular and it appears that, every crystal on here is an interpenetrating twin. The largest cube is 1.5 cm. One seldom sees such pristine, large plates today. The cubes glow with super fluorescence under any bright light! Ex Dr. Ed David, from his first collection. Ed was Science Advisor to President Nixon and has assembled several world-class mineral collections. Valued at $2000-2500. Trust us - this is MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
