Description:A dramatic CABINET specimen of intergrown, translucent, "Blanchard-blue", fluorite cubes richly and aesthetically scattered on the quartz crystal matrix from the famous Blanchard Mine of New Mexico. The cubes have nice purple edges and reach 1.3 cm. The photos highlight the translucency and pretty color saturations, including the purple edges. A bit of bruising is noted, but this remains a large highly representative example of the combination species and noted locale. Contemporary classic material.
