Item Description
A classic and very showy combination thumbnail from the famous Elmwood Mine. A lustrous, translucent, fluorite cube is aesthetically set on splendent, partially gemmy, rubyjack sphalerite crystals. The fluorite has intense, stepped-growth faces, giving a flashy, scintiallating look and classic, darker purple, edge phantoms surrounding the near-colorless core. This striking fluorite is complete and nearly pristine, with only a bit of edgewear. A very fine, older combination specimen from this noted locale. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
