Item Description
Classic, beautiful emerald-green, water-clear gem to milky/translucent interpenetrating fluorite cubes cover all sides of this striking and very rich 360-degree rounded column from recent finds at this famous locale. The glorious large gem twin is 1.7 cm across. The rounded, melted-look galena octahedrons are a super and classic accessory. Complete all-around and essentially pristine, with only very trivial bruising. The contacted top is noted, but has little impact to the excellent quality and richness of this fine example. Purple fluorescence under any bright light. Every turn presents a different perspective to this very showy piece.
