Item Description
Gorgeous, gem, water-clear, interpenetrating fluorite cubes with beautiful emerald-green color are aesthetically clustered on matrix on this classic old-timer from the famous Heights Mine. The large pair is 1.6 cm. The limpid quality of these crystals is exceptional and was hard to capture with the photographs. Periphery wear is noted, but this remains a very fine, highly representative example with outstanding gemmy crystals. The base has been sawed to enhance the fine display quality. Bright white-blue UV fluorescence and fluorescence under any bright light. Old-time material from an East Coast collection. MUCH, MUCH better in person!
