Item Description

Perched aesthetically on a crust of snow white barite are a few color zoned cubes of lustrous and translucent fluorite, to 1.8 cm across. The fluorite cubes are essentially a light sky blue with rich lavender color zoning in the crystal centers. The color combinations are spectacular! GORGEOUS shwocase specimen....it is a full miniature, valued $1000. This is a trim off a larger piece we obtained in the famous Ross Lillie collection.
