Item Description
An absolutely adorable combination from recent finds at this famous locale. A glorious wreath of gemmy, green fluorite cubes to 1.0 cm crowns the sculptural heart-shaped matrix plate. Glassy quartz points strikingly outline the "heart" and a few corroded galena cubes are embedded in the fluorites. There appears to be no damage to the center of the piece and the fluorites are pristine. Dazzling bright blue-white fluorescence! this is a VERY unusual specimen for the locale.
