Item Description

Beautifully gemmy, glass-green, fluorite cubes to 1.5 cm glow with stunning purple fluorescence under any bright light on this very fine specimen self-collected by noted English collector and dealer Richard Barstow at the renowned Heights Mine in July, 1977. There are juicy crystals on the front, back and sides. A few gently bruised crystals and periphery wear are noted on the front, but are certainly minimally detracting to this fine piece from a most classic English locale. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Super purple fluorescence, as you would expect.
