Item Description
William Wise Mine fluorites have a bright glowing green color that is seldom matched in fluorites from anywhere else, except for the recent find at Riemvasmaak, South Africa. This excellent small cabinet plate is covered with intergrown, lightly frosted octahedral crystals to 3.0 cm with high luster, translucency and top color. The quartz point on one side is a super accent. All of the fluorites are pristine. The periphery wear on one side is noted, but is certainly not a detraction. SUPER fluorescence! Classic William Wise Mine fluorite. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection. valued $750-1000
