Item Description

A classic, aesthetic and excellent combination specimen from the famous Elmwood Mine. Two, interpenetrating, lustrous, translucent, fluorite cubes are dramatically set between splendent, partially gemmy, rubyjack sphalerite crystals. The fluorites have intense, stepped-growth faces, giving a flashy, scintiallating look and superb edge phantoms with the gorgeous, rich grape-purple cubes. This outstanding, older fluorite combo is pristine. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
