Item Description

Gemmy, highly lustrous, rich honey-yellow fluorite cubes to 1.5 cm form a sculptural and excellent plate from the well-known Moscona Mine. Many cubes have oriented sulfide phantoms or are dusted with same, which really adds character to this showy piece. Showingly viewable from several angles, with only trivial periphery wear. Classic older Asturias fluorite. Ex Jaime Bird Collection and comes with an Alain Carion label.
