Item Description

Two, classic rich blue-grape-purple fluorite cubes are nicely set on the sculptural, 3-dimensional silicified limestone matrix covered with a myriad of sparkly, translucent, dolomite rhombs. The gemmy and lustrous cubes, to 1.7 cm, have sharp edge phantoms and striking, dense stepped-growth faces. The smaller cube has dinged corners, but this remains a showy, aesthetic and highly representative combination from the famed Elmwood Mine. Dots of fluorescence are a nice accent.
