Item Description

A classic, pristine, floater, doubly terminated fluorite octahedron from the famous Wise Mine. The gemmy and lustrous crystal has rich mint-green color with a hint of blue. The frosted, lightly etched faces and strikingly different terminations add much character to this sculptural cutie. Wise Mine fluorites are a US classic and this is an exceptional floater miniature. Rich purple fluorescence. Ex David Burgess Collection, for whom Burgessite is named.
