Item Description

A nifty and aesthetic combination from this famous fluorite mine. A 2.9 cm "ball" of bone-white strontianite spikes is dramatically perched on bi-colored, purple and sky-blue fluorite with a field of glassy, colorless barite blades as a fine accent. All three species fluoresce. Classic and excellent combination material from an East Coast collection.
