Item Description

A very aesthetic and sculptural mounded small cabinet combination from the famous fluorite mines at Berbes. A striking cockscomb of intergrown barite blades dramatically crowns two generations of gem fluorite cubes. Beautiful, limpid glassy light purple cubes, to 9 mm, prettily accented with darker purple edge phantoms are richly strewn on the earlier generation of smaller, glassy colorless cubes. Purple fluorescence. Classic and excellent Berbes combination material from the Ted Bartels Collection.
