Item Description

Gem, pretty light purple, penetration-twinned fluorite cubes to 1.1 cm totally cover the large matrix plate on this excellent specimen from the famous Blackdene Mine. This very fine specimen is very nearly pristine, with only trivial bruising. Amazing for such dense coverage. Classic material from a classic locale in Weardale. Valued at $800-1000. SUPER fluorescence. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection.
