Description

A beautiful combination of transparent purple fluorite cubes and sharp, sparkling crystals of red (“ruby-jack”) sphalerite. This piece is great to explore with a little magnification – some sphalerite crystals are included within fluorite. In excellent condition, and with a saw cut at the base so it stands perfectly for display. From the Pete Richards collection, he collected it on March 27, 1988. The colour combination is super.
