Item Description

Top-tier, bright rich yellow, glassy gem fluorite cubes, to 1.2 cm, cover this striking, excellent and rich mounded specimen from this historic district. Scattered brassy chalcopyrite sphenoids and a couple of patches of barite blades are fine accessories to this exceptionally colorful fluorite. Purple fluorescence.
