Item Description
A few beautiful green color, GEM quality, sharp, semi-lustrous, cuboctahedral crystals of Fluorite associated with contrasting black Sphalerite. This piece is not from a recent find at the mine, but actually about 35 years ago (late 1970s). The largest Fluorite crystal group measures 3.1 cm across, and for the quality, associations, and overall aesthetics, it is a nice small cabinet from this incredible mine. The piece came from the well known collection of Richard A. Kosnar.
