Item Description

Beautiful, classic, color-zoned "Blanchard blue" fluorite cubes, to 1.2 cm, are richly and dramatically layered on the large sculptural vuggy very hard silicified limestone matrix. Scattered white pseudomorphs of cerussite or anglesite after cubic galena crystals are super and typical accessories to this very fine and classic large piece from the Allen Dillwith Collection. Purple fluorescence. The base and back have been sawed to enhance the superior display quality.
