Item Description
Heights Mine fluorites are an English classic and this is an impressive and unusually colored large combination. Intergrown, interpenetrating, gemmy to translucent, light straw-yellow cubes, to 3.5 cm, are well accented with two clusters of lustrous, battleship-gray, modified galena cubes. The display face is in great shape with only a couple of gently bruised corners. An uncommon color on this very fine, large combination old-timer from Dr. G. Schneider at the University of Berlin. Super fluorescence, as you would expect! Value??
