Item Description

The striking cube, with backlighting, has beautiful sky-blue, colorless and violet edge phantoms. The back lighting shows the underlying massive amber fluorite. Tiny Chalcopyrite sphenoids are embedded on and enclosed within the fluorite - RARE for the locale . PLUS Bitumen blebs are visible. Fine and rare accessories make it interesting and it IS somewhat colorful although a little lacking in luster. Ex Chet Lemanski Collection and acquire in 1998.
