Item Description
Rich lavender, modified fluorite cubes with stepped-growth faces comprise this very showy mounded cluster of fluorite crystals from this less well-known Italian locale. The lustrous, translucent cubes reach 3.0 cm and have interesting concave faces. The cubes GLOW, when backlit. The cubes display well from one angle, which minimizes the side wear. RARE in this rich color. Older material for the locale from the Bob Trimingham Collection and obtained in 1972.
