Item Description
Remarkable 360-degree combination material from the famous Elmwood Mine. A 4.5 x 4.1 x 4.0 cm sharp bi-colored fluorite cube is dramatically perched atop ruby jack sphalerite. The translucent cube has a light gray interior nicely accented with purple edge phantoms. The prism faces have shimmering satin lustre highlighting the very dense stepped-growth. A RARE, fantastic and artistic bonus are striking stringers and flecks of bitumen preferentially enclosed in only one face of the cube. The amazing cube is nearly pristine, with only a few edge wilbers up top and a lightly cleaved corner on the bottom. Purple fluorescence. Formerly in the Consie Prince Collection dating to the 1980s. Ex Cliff Bourland Collection of Dallas. A unique looking Elmwood fluorite and sphalerite.
