Item Description
Classic, rich and showy large fluorite with a surprise from the famous Annabel Lee Mine. Densely and aesthetically intergrown cubes cover the undulating specimen. The classic, typical for the locale, light blue to gray-blue cubes, to 3.5 cm, are quite gemmy and have frosted satin lustre faces. Most of the cubes are beautifully accented with narrow violet edge phantoms. The surprise is visible under UV lighting as fluorescent white hydrocarbons are preferentially included in some of the cubes. The mine was one of the last major fluorite operations in the District, opening in 1984 and closing in 1995. Ex Chet Lemanski Collection and acquired in 1997.
