Item Description
Gorgeous, exceptional gem emerald-green fluorite cubes richly cover the large sculptural matrix on this impressive large specimen from recent mining at the Rogerley Mine. The striking, centrally placed penetration twin is 2.4 cm. The camera could not capture the beautiful limpid quality of these cubes, as any light brings out the stunning purple fluorescence of the crystals! The interior is very nearly pristine, with only a few gently bruised crystal corners. The bit of noted periphery wear has very minimal impact to this outstanding piece, that displays very well from both sides. Note the striking day-glow purple fluorescence under halogen lighting and bright blue-white under UV light. Valued at $2000 and worth it. These are very high quality fluorites for the locale. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
