Fall 22

Blue-purple Fluorite in translucent cubes in a fine thumbnail cluster. The crystals are well perched on the contrasting Sphalerite and this glows very well when backlit. These photos were not backlit, with light above and on the sides only, so it shows how it will look in a basic display. The condition is very good, it takes a 10X loupe to find only very tiny edge/corner roughness. The stepped edges and faces give a rough texture that reflects light well. A good clean Elmwood thumbnail that is better in person.
