Item Description
The front of this very showy and artistic mounded plate is covered with very glassy, transparent, golden-yellow fluorite cubes to about 1.0 cm and dramatically accented with starkly contrasted snow-white barite blades from recent finds at the Moscona Mine, Spain. The back is totally covered with barite blades. Two generations of fluorite are evident from the fluorescent photo, yellow-white and purple. Complete all-around and nearly pristine. One edge is the contact, but is certainly not a detraction. This is very fine, highly representative, two-sided combination. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
