Item Description

Beautiful silvery to soft green color, gemmy, well-formed, sharp, modified cuboctahedral crystals of Fluorite are sitting on contrasting black Sphalerite. The piece was collected in 2007. For the quality, association, and overall aesthetics, it is a great small cabinet from this incredible mine. The piece is in great shape and really glows with color from the fact that the crystals are WATER CLEAR in areas. BETTER IN PERSON, hard to photograph! The largest Fluorite measures 3.1 cm. Valued at $950.
