Item Description

A sculptural and impressive large intergrown pair of large light purple fluorite cubes nicely accented with a bit of rubyjack sphalerite from the famous Elmwood Mine. The highly lustrous cubes, to 7.2 cm, are transparent with densely stepped-growth frosted faces. Any light reveals the striking interior phantons of darker purple massive phantoms in the centers surrounded by hard-to-see light blue zones and several sharp lavender edge phantoms. The display face of this very fine and classic large combination is essentially pristine, with only a tiny wilber on the top edge of the crystal on the right. Purple fluorescence. Choice older material from an East Coast collection. BETTER in person!
