SOLD
Intergrown, large fluorite cubes form a dramatic, cabinet specimen from an uncommon Canadian locale - the St. Lawrence Mine in Newfoundland. The crystals reach 5.5 cm on edge. Some faces are very glassy, transparent to translucent and have interesting, cross-hatched, internal reflections. Other faces are preferentially coated with iron oxides. The crystals are colorless to brownish to grayish. This fine, complete-all-around specimen appears to be a floater and has only modest edge-wear. An excellent large specimen from an uncommon Canadian locale. Modest purple fluorescence. Ex. Elling collection.
