A classic old-time CABINET Weardale, England specimen of lustrous, sparkly colorless quartz points on purple fluorite cubes. The large fluorite cube is 4.8 x 3.9 cm and it really makes this a visually attractive specimen. Trivial, trivial damage to an edge and corner of the large fluorite is barely noticeable and certainly does not impair this beautiful piece. The fluorite has beautiful purple fluorescence very characteristic of this classic material that in fact provided the very namesake specimens for coinage of the term fluorescence! HUGE crystal for the material, and overall a huge and attractive piece. 14.5 x 11.5 x 6.5 cm
