Item Description
A showy, highly representative, old-time fluorite combination from this noted Cornwall district. Three, intergrown, translucent, light blue modified cuboctahedral crystals with frosted faces are nicely set on sulfide matrix and accented with clear quartz crystals. The fluorites are pristine and this is uncommon material that generally tends to be from the late 1800s and early 1900s heyday here. Modest purple fluoresence is noted as a bonus. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection. valued $400
