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 striking CABINET plate is covered with intergrown, lightly frosted octahedral crystals to 3.2 cm with high luster, translucency and top color. Periphery wear is noted, but the central crystal field is in top shape. SUPER fluorescence! Classic William Wise MIne fluorite. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection.
