Item Description

The rich amber color of this impressive fluorite cube is beautifully accented by the thin sharp blue and purple edge phantoms. The cube is water-clear to translucent with striking dense stepped-growth satin lustre faces. The unusual moss-like internal inclusions and scattered tiny brassy chalcopyrites, mostly on the top with only one crystal on the front add much interest and character. Slight purple fluorescence along the edges. All-in-all, a classic, very showy and excellent rich amber fluorite with additional highlights from the Minerva.
