Item Description
Stepped-growth fluorite crystals from Blanchard are rare and this is an outstanding color-zoned example. The lustrous, translucent, intensely stepped-growth crystal is classic "Blanchard-blue" or teal-blue and is dramatically accented with purple color-zoning. The cutie is complete all-around and aesthetically rests on a bed of quartz crystals. This is the best example of this uncommon varietal, that I have seen. Ex Larry Krause dealer stock. valued $200-300
