Item Description
A gorgeous and aesthetic cluster of gemmy and lustrous, light emerald-green, penetration-twinned, fluorite cubes from the famous Rogerley Mine. The large cube is 2.7 cm and they all glow with rich purple fluorescence under any light! This cutie is complete all-around and pristine, except for the contact at the base. It certainly has multiple, super display possibilities. Dating to the 1970s, this superb piece was formerly in the Ralph Sutcliffe Collection and was handled by Lindsey Greenbank, both premier collectors of English minerals.
