Fluorite & Sphalerite on Baryte (fluorescent) Ross Lillie Coll.

Item Description

Gem light blue fluorite cubes, a striking cluster of color-zoned fluorites and gemmy rubyjack sphalerite crystals are dramatically scattered and clustered on the sculptural, ball-like, bladed barite matrix on this very fine and artistic combination from the famous Minerva Mine. The nifty, 2.5 cm, color-zoned cube has an amber core with classic purple edge phantoms. The top and base are contacted, but this remains an exceptional and very showy 3-dimensional combination specimen. Both the fluorite and barite fluoresce. Ex Ross Lillie Collection # 0690 and was mined in December, 1990. Valued at $500-650.
