Item Description

A really cute and rare combination thumbnail from this well-known extinct mine, famous for scheelite. A striking, lustrous, metallic, bladed, molybdenite "rose" is very jauntily set on intergrown, transparent, lightly frosted, light mint-green, fluorite cubes. In great shape, overall. Try to find another. Bright purple fluorescence. Ex Harry Simon Collection of Rochester, New York.
