Item Description
A dramatic, excellent and very unusual fluorite and rubyjack sphalerite combination from the famous Elmwood. Striking radiation burns in the upper few millimeters of all of the gemmy and lustrous pretty purple cubes are clearly evident on this aesthetic large specimen. All of the cubes have nifty darker purple edge phantoms and dense stepped-growth faces. The impressive large cube, at 3.2 cm, has classic gem corners, as do some of the smaller crystals. Three corners of the large cube are gently bruised, but this remains an impressive and fine large combination example of this uncommon fluorite varietal from this locale.
