Item Description

A very aesthetic combination from this well-known mine. Translucent, lustrous, color-zoned fluorite cubes with lavender-gray bodies and beautiful purple to blue-gray edge phantoms and frosted faces are nicely complimented by the moderately lustrous modified galena cubes. The large fluorite is 2.8 cm and the central galena with the pretty light iridescent coating is 1.8 cm. The matrix is microcrystalline rubyjack sphalerite and there are many more smaller darker fluorite cubes on the back. Rich purple fluorescence. A very fine Annabel Lee mine combination.
