Color-zoned Fluorite w/ Baryte (Ted Bartels Coll.)

Item Description

A deceptive and aesthetic cluster of fluorite cubes from the famous Annabel Lee mine and the Ted Bartels Collection. The sharp cubes, to 3.9 cm, look to be nearly opaque deep purple with shimmering waxy luster faces. BUT, back lighting reveals, that these cubes are actually color-zoned, with rich blue cores and beautiful lavender to violet edge phantoms! The snow-white barite is a fine contrast and the piece has two excellent display views. Classic and showy Annabel Lee fluorite.
