Item Description
Very glassy, water-clear to translucent, color-zoned, gray-blue fluorite cubes form a showy and excellent mounded specimen from this less well-known fluorite mine in Asturias. The blue is concentrated on the edges of the cubes. Very difficult to photograph, due to the intense luster and clarity of the crystals. A cleaved corner and a bit of periphery wear are noted, but are not too detracting. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued fine Spanish specimen at $300, five or more years ago. Bright purple fluorescence. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
