Item Description

Classic, iridescent fluorite cubes from the famous Auglaize Quarry of Ohio. The 7.2 cm elongated vug aesthetically perched atop the blocky limestone matrix is lined with three varieties of fluorite. The vug interior is filled with classic iridescent, scintillating violet-brown and golden cubes. Scattered on the fringe of the vug are a few, beautiful, complimentary gemmy rich violet cubes to 3 mm. The vug floor is lined with a first generation of small brown, translucent fluorite crystals. LW UV light reveals a STRIKING surprise! All of the fluorite generations, especially the earlier generation of fluorite lining the vug light up yellowish-white to golden in the interior from hydrocarbon inclusions! Showy, rich and excellent material from the noted locale. MUCH BETTER in person! These usually are shown at prices ranging over an extreme from low to high, depending on if you buy them in the Midwest or at national level shows.
