Item Description
A few "water-green" color, gemmy, sharp, lustrous, intergrown cubic crystal groups of Fluorite associated with beige Calcite and minor Sphalerite and Galean. This piece is not from a recent find at the mine, but actually about 30 years ago (late 1970s). The largest Fluorite crystal measures 2.0 cm on edge, and for the quality, associations, and overall aesthetics, it is a nice miniature from this incredible mine. In good shape on the display side, but the main Fluorite is cleaved on the back.
