Item Description

To my eye, the Fluorite/Celestine combos that came out a half century ago from the Tule Mine are some of the most divine pieces around for their simplicity and beauty. This excellent large miniature is Fluorite-dominated, with the complex purple cubes reaching up to 2.2 cm on edge. The faces are gently stepped, with the crystals grading to a deep purple phantom that highlights the edges. The Fluorite is accented by white to clear Celestine that is both tabular and acicular. Classic, this is a very fine, aesthetic miniature. Old material!
