Item Description
William Wise Mine fluorites have a bright glowing green color that is seldom matched in fluorites from anywhere else. This larger octahedron is contacted, but has little damage in the contact area.. A bit of edgewear and a couple of cleaved faces are noted. This remains a highly representative gemmy and lustrous example with top color. Classic William Wise fluorite. Ex Ernie and Vera Schlichter Collection.
