Item Description

Boulder Hill Mine fluorites are a well-known Nevada species. This large sculptural two-sided curved crust is covered on both sides with fluorite cubes. The well-placed, 2.4 cm on the diagonal baryte crystal is surrounded by gemmy, grayish-blue fluorite cubes, to 8 mm, with frosted faces. Many of the smaller cubes on the back are pure gem and are a much richer blue. Bright purple fluorescence.
