Item Description
A showy and excellent, 3-dimensional, CABINET, plate covered with intergrown, glassy, transparent to translucent, lightly frosted, modified cuboctahedral fluorite crystals to 2.2 cm from the less well-known Emilio Mine of Asturias, Spain. This very fine, large example is in great shape, with only a bit of periphery wear. Ex Sanchez and Alain Martaud Collections and according to the label, collected in circa 1987. Very light purple fluorescence. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON as these are difficult to shoot. Valued $900
