Item Description
A classic and excellent fluorite cube from the famous Elmwood Mine. The highly lustrous, translucent cube has intense, stepped-growth faces, giving a shimmering, scintillating look and classic, rich grape-purple, edge phantoms surrounding the light purple to near-colorless core. The gemmy, little calcite scalenohedrons on one face are a nifty accent. This striking larger fluorite is complete all-around and very nearly pristine, with only trivial corner wear and periphery. A fine, older specimen from this noted locale. Valued at $300-400. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
