Item Description
Lustrous, violet-black fluorite octahedrons, to 1.5 cm, cover the aesthetic, symmetrical mounded hemisphere on this rich and showy specimen from the limited early 1990 finds at this now extinct mine. These pieces were in high demand, when they came out, but no more were found after 1995. A very fine 360-degree specimen with only a couple of spots of gently bruised crystals. These are rare and desirable today. Purple fluorescence.
