Item Description

Classic "Blanchard blue" fluorite cubes are aesthetically intergrown on this sculptural small cabinet from this well-known locale. The translucent cubes, to 2.5 cm, have frosted satin lustre faces. Backlighting reveals a nice surprise, as sharp white interior phantoms and violet edge phantoms are clearly visible. Scattered bruising is a minimal detraction to this classic striking bi-colored varietal. Purple fluorescence. Ex Bob Reynolds Collection, a well-known fossil and mineral expert and Curator of the San Bernardino County Museum.
