Description:Wow! A dramatic, CABINET, fluorite specimen from the 2006 find at the famous Rogerley Mine. Two, striking, stalactitic ball-like clusters of pretty green fluorite cubes are very aesthetically set on mounded matrix of starkly contrasting quartz crystals and very nicely accented with matte-gray galena cubes. The cubes have gorgeous, natural purple fluorescence with any stronger light. The fluorite clusters are complete all-around, nearly pristine, with only one ball having very modest bruising on one side. Super purple fluorescence, as you would expect!! Brent Lockhart bought this important piece directly from Cal Graeber, one of the miners at the Rogerley. Very fairly valued at $2000 and comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $125 as a free bonus.
