Item Description

An aesthetic fluorite cluster from the famous and now-closed Elmwood Mine. Lustrous, translucent, pretty purple cubes to 3.3 x 3.3 cm have deeper purple edges and colorless interiors. The striking, stepped-growth faces really add character to excellent piece, which is on sphalerite matrix. Trivial edgewear (one corner of the large cube) and periphery wear are noted, but are only a very modest detraction. Classic material from this noted locale. Ex Consie Prince Collection.
