Item Description
A nifty combination from recent finds at this famous mine. Two, glassy, sharply terminated quartz crystals are aesthetically set in the field of starkly contrasting mint-green fluorite cuboctahedrons. The larger quartz, at 3.0 cm, is a striking reverse scepter and has a gem, smoky termination! The fluorites are gem-clear to indistinct, drusy. The broken quartz in front of the pair is noted, but is certainly only a modest detraction to this very showy and colorful combination. Bright purple fluorescence.
