Item Description
Golden limonite coats this sculptural and aesthetic small cabinet of densely intergrown glassy colorless fluorite cubes, to 1.8 cm, from the famous Clara Mine of the Black Forest. Scattered rust-red hematite coatings add contrast. This historic and important mine opened in 1726 for copper, silver and lead minerals and is now mined for mostly barite and fluorite with some silver and copper. The mine has produced 453 valid species! (MINDAT). The cubes glow, when back lit. Comes with a custom-maded and engraved lucite base valued at $145, for free. Ex Renaud Vochten Collection and Jim Boteler Fluorite collection. An excellent German classic from the noted locality.
