Item Description
Lustrous, transparent to translucent, bi-colored yellow, fluorite cubes to 2.3 cm comprise this showy and excellent old-timer from the historic Freiberg District of Saxony. The corners and edges of many of the crystals are a striking, gemmy, golden-amber, while the rest of the crystals are saffron-yellow. The piece is in excellent shape, with only a trivial bit of edgewear. Classic material from the Robert Whitmore Collection.
