Item Description
An amazingly sculptural and showy fluorite and pyrite combination from this mine. A 4.5 cm "ball" of intergrown, melted-look, lustrous, mostly transparent, pretty light sea-green fluorite cuboctahedrons is artistically set on an amoeba-like matrix of splendent, striated, brassy pyritohedrons. This striking and excellent two-sided combination has multiple fine display views. Essentially pristine and nearly a floater, with only small attachment on one end. Purple fluorescence. Very choice and aesthetic combinaion material from the Art Soregaroli Collection.
