Item Description

We are offering a second, very aesthetic and classic fluorite specimen from the famous and now-closed Elmwood Mine. A gorgeous, 1.9 x 1.9 cm, fluorite cube is nicely set on a carpet of sparkly, gemmy barite microcrystals. The translucent, highly lustrous, cube has super purple color, scintillating, stepped-growth faces and beautiful, darker purple, color-zoned edges. A smaller fluorite is a jauntily perched, like a cap, atop the large cube, on another carpet of sparkly barite crystals. This is classic, color, form and habit from Elmwood. This is a totally pristine, 360 degree specimen. Get a GOOD ONE, while you can. Ex Jaime Bird Collection.
