Large Fluorite on Quartz (classic locale)

Item Description

Classic, translucent, lightly frosted, "Blanchard-blue", fluorite cubes to 3.0 cm cover the crest of this impressive LARGE CABINET specimen from the famous Blanchard Mine of New Mexico. The teal-blue cubes have faint purple edges and rest on colorless fluorite crystals and quartz. The photos highlight the translucency and color saturations, including the purple edges. Some periphery wear is noted, but is mostly concentrated in one area. Highly representative and showy large material from this noted locale. Note that these should not be exposed to sunlight, or they fade (though room light is OK). Contemporary classic material. 4.9 pounds or 2.2 kilos.
