Item Description

William Wise Mine fluorites have a bright glowing green color that is seldom matched in fluorites from anywhere else. A bit of edgewear and modest contacting, with very miminal bruising is noted, but are modest detractions. This large, doubly terminated, octahedral crystal is a very fine, gemmy and lustrous example with top color. Classic William Wise fluorite. Ex Ernie and Vera Schlichter Collection.
