Item Description
A showy and excellent, interpenetrating pair of glassy, transparent to translucent, amber fluorite cubes from this old German mine. The canyon in the center of the large cube is gemmy, transparent, while the adjacent, upland faces are frosted. Specimens of this form and quality are seldom on the market. The presentation face is pristine. Self-collected by Jaime Bird in the 1970s. Purple fluorescence. Much better in person.
