Item Description

A showy and excellent cluster of intergrown, translucent, "Blanchard-blue", fluorite cubes from the famous Blanchard Mine of New Mexico. The cubes have nice purple edges. The photos highlight the translucency and color saturations, including the purple edges. A bit of edgewear is noted, but is a modest detraction. Nicely displayable in several orientations. Contemporary classic material.
