Item Description

An exceptional and aesthetic fluorite, rubyjack sphalerite and dolomite combination from the famous Elmwood Mine and the Ken Roberts Collection. Drop-dead gorgeous violet gemmy fluorite cubes, to 1.6 cm, are dramatically clustered and scattered on the scintillating mounded matrix of rubyjack sphalerite crystals. The highly lustrous cubes have satin luster faces with striking dense, stepped-growth and subtle darker edge phantoms, adding much pizzazz. The bed of glassy dolomite rhombs hidden on one side are a fine accessory. The rich fluorite color and style and bright sphalerite crystals are remarkable and uncommon. Valued by Ken at $750 and worth it.
