Item Description
Stunning, lustrous, gem to translucent, bi-colored yellow, fluorite cubes to 2.7 cm comprise this spectacular and excellent large old-timer from the historic Freiberg District of Saxony. The corners and edges of many of the crystals are a striking, water-clear, rich golden-amber, while the rest of the crystals are saffron-yellow. The gem areas look like cut Baltic amber and the color resembles the best Elk Creek barites! Overall, the piece is in super, nearly pristine shape, with only a few hard-to-see bruised corners and acceptable modest periphery wear. There are even more cubes on the back as a bonus. Very faint purple fluorescence. Outstanding old-time material from this classic locale. Valued at $2000-2500 for unique color and gemminess. The cubes GLOW, when backlit!
