Item Description
Intergrown, two-toned purple fluorite cubes form an impressive, sculptural, large, elongated specimen from the famous Cave-in-Rock District. The lustrous, translucent cubes, to 4.8 cm, are rich grape-purple to a light violet. The rich preferential festooning of sparkly drusy quartz and the single 1.7 cm metallic galena cube in the center are super accents to this large combination classic. The display view is nearly pristine, with just a few gently bruised or cleaved corners, which are certainly only a modest detraction to this artistic large piece. Moderate dark purple fluorescence. Valued at $1250-1500.
