Item Description

Back lighting reveals a stunning, sharp, gemmy, multi-hued phantom inside of the mostly water-clear, 4.3 x 4.0 cm, modified fluorite cube from the famous La Viesca Mine in Asturias. The exterior of the cube is a beautiful sky-blue and the beveled edges, waxy luster stepped growth faces and fortification features add real pizzazz to this crystal. The phantom is strongly visible from three different faces. The cube is attractively set on sparkly druzy quartz resting on silicified limestone. The upper portion of the cube is dramatically pristine. The noted basal periphery wear to the cube can be strongly minimized with the correct display view. Ex De Natura (Les Presmyk) dealer stock. A wonderful and classic fluorite cube from the well-known locale.
