Item Description

An aesthetic and sculptural large cluster of intergrown color-zoned fluorite cubes from this well-known Asturias fluorite mine. Striking translucent cubes, to 5.5 cm, have pretty grayish-blue color, striking lightly frosted stepped-growth faces with nifty modified corners and impressive violet interior phantoms. The color zoning of the cubes shows up dramatically when they are backlit or on the back attachment! This fine large specimen is essentially pristine. Modest purple fluorescence. Ex Sanabria Collection. Classic La Viesca fluorite.
