Item Description
A beautiful, gem, 1.4 cm, blush-purple fluorite cube with satin luster faces and striking violet edge phantoms is aesthetically set on the impressive, highly sculptural combination matrix. The nubby, bone-white massive barite matrix is dramatically accented by the broad contrasting horizontal band of lustrous, layered sphalerite peppered with nifty small, frosted calcite scalenohedrons. Purple fluorite fluorescence. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $145 for free. Ex Jim Boteler Fluorite Collection. Classic, very artistic and excellent small cabinet combination material from the famous Cave-in-Rock area of Illinois.
