Item Description

This is a beautiful, fine quality, gemmy multicolor sharp, lustrous cubic Fluorite from the classic Annabel Lee Mine. The Fluorite cubes have excellent "phantoming" with a golden core which ranges into a purple and blue exterior. The piece is not 100% perfect, as the main crystal a tiny nick on one corner, but it's in really good shape for the most part, and the color looks beautiful when backlit. Hard to photograph, but we did our best, and it really does look better in person. The piece was originally priced at $2000 in our inventory, but probably more in my mind with the ever increasing value of southern Illinois material. The piece comes with a FREE lucite display base.
