A very aesthetic, undamaged cluster of two, purple-cored with two shades of blue on the outside, frosted, translucent fluorite cubes from the famous Sunshine #2 Adit at the Blanchard Mine, Bingham, New Mexico. These are very large blue fluorites for the locality. The backlit photo highlights the two shades of blue and purple core. This is really excellent material and is valued highly from this well-known locality. Ex Chris Cowan Collection, a noted New Mexico collector. Rich deep-blue fluorescence. Unusual for size and quality. 6.0 x 4.9 x 3.2 cm
