Item Description
Fluorite specimens are RARE from this old, extinct Scordale mine, near the famous Hilton Mine, producer of exceptional yellow fluorite specimens. Gem yellow fluorite cubes with pock-marked satin lustre faces are attractively set on sculptural large matrix with tarnished galena crystals and calcite. The impressive dominating pristine cube is 3.0 x 2.5 x 2.2 cm. Bright purple fluorescence. Ex Dr. Stephen Moreton Collection. Rare and outstanding fluorite and galena from the Murton Mine. Value? We feel $800-1000 is fair for such a rarity.
