Item Description

A glorious 2.5 cm pair of gem, highly lustrous, rich purple interpenetrating fluorite cubes is dramatically perched on the crest of this stunning 360-degree fluorite stalactite from the famous Frazer's Hush Mine. The cubes cascading down the sides are just as gemmy or grade to cloudy white, typical for many specimens from the locale. Some cubes have frosted faces. Complete all-around and essentially pristine. The small corner bruise to one of the crestal cubes is certainly only a minimal detraction to this exceptional and uncommon stalactite from this noted locale. Striking purple fluorescence under any lighting. The mine closed in 1999. Valued at $1250 and worth it .
