Item Description
A very nifty and aesthetic two-way combination from the Xiefang Mine. Two, brassy, lustrous spheres of intergrown pyrite pyritohedrons are dramatically set on the sculptural matrix of intergrown, translucent, lavender fluroite cubes with a drusy quartz coating and a band of quartz points. Tiny pyrites peppered about are a super accent. This is an extremely fine combination from a small find in 2007-2008. Purple fluorescence.
