Item Description

A very showy, U-shaped, cluster of relatively uncommon multi-colored fluorite cubes from the famous Blanchard Mine. Most of the crystals, to 3.1 cm, are the classic "Blanchard blue" and all are beautifully lustrous and translucent. The largest fluorite is mostly purple and behind it is an uncommon core of yellow fluorite. The primary crystals are in really good shape and the periphery wear is noted, but in reality is a very modest detraction to the overall impact of this excellent and uncommon specimen. Classic Blanchard material.
