Item Description

This is a classic and aesthetic Clay Center combination specimen with the fluorite cubes exhibiting a rich cognac color in the interior with near colorless edge phantoms and outstanding luster and gemminess. For added flavor the sprays of lustrous and colorless celestine blades dramatize the fluorites.This piece is from the major finds a few years ago. It has fine display quality from both sides. The notched crestal cube is 3.0 x 2.6 x 2.0 cm. The bit of periphery wear is certainly a modest detraction. An excellent combination example for the size. This is also highly fluorescent a ghostly white color under UV light - interestingly, ONLY the interior cognac-colored fluorite!
