Item Description

A fantastic, 2.5 cm, water-clear, colorless, elongated fluorite cube is dramatically perched on hefty, oxide-coated, bladed barite matrix amongst innumerable smaller cubes on this outstanding old-timer from this historic German locale (opened in 1726). The cube is very nearly pristine, with only a trivial bit of hard-to-see edge wear. The base has been sawed to enhance the super display quality. Classic and excellent combination material from the W. Leithauser Collection. Bright purple fluorescence. valued $1000
