Item Description

Impressive rich and large fluorite from this obscure Alaska island locale. Translucent, variable grayish-green cubes with satin luster or frosted faces dramatically cover the 3-dimensional piece. Most of the fluorites are fascinating interpenetrating twins, with only one large untwinned, 2.1 cm cube noted on the upper right of the piece. The impressive, large interpenetrating pair on the right is 3.3 cm across and the dominating, stacked cluster of interpenetrating twins on the center-top is also 3.3 cm across. Rich blue-purple LW UV fluorescence. From the Al and Sue Liebtrau Fluorescent Collection. All of the many major large fluorites are pristine on this outstanding large, very uncommon and rich example from Alaska. Have not seen these for sale since the 1980s and it is a huge and good one!
