Item Description

Gorgeous, gemmy, emerald-green, fluorite octahedrons cover matrix on this very fine and uncommon miniature from this well-known, extinct, uranium mine. The vivid green is comparable in intense color to the rare green crystals from Malmberget, Sweden. The octos are aesthetically accented by very rare for the locale pyrite crystals. Intense whitish-purple fluorescence. Choice and rare combination material from the Art Soregaroli Collection. A must for the locality or species collector.
