Item Description

A striking and excellent color-zoned fluorite from the famous Minerva # 1 Mine. A beautiful, 5.2 x 3.1 cm, light blue cube with darker edge shading is water-clear and highly lustrous. The lightly frosted cube is dramatically perched on heavily etched, classic Minerva colored-zone fluorite --- dark purple over a yellow core. Glassy, tiny, golden-amber calcite blades on the purple fluorite are a nice accent. The cube is essentially pristine, having only very trivial edgwear on an out of sight back corner. Fine quality MInerva fluorite from the Wes Parker Collection. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
