Item Description
Yellow fluorite is rare from this famous locale and this is one of the finest we have seen, with exceptionally large crystals. Golden-amber, glassy, transparent to translucent cubes to 4.8 cm are intergrown into a showy and excellent specimen. This dates to 1980s finds. The negligible bit of bruising and noted periphery wear are certainly modest detractions. Two sides have been sawed to enhance the display quality. Rich purple fluorescence. Ex Art Soregaroli Collection. Valued at $1000-1250 for color rarity and large crystal size.
