Item Description

Beautiful, sharp, gemmy, vivid pink fluorite octahedrons with frosted faces are richly and aesthetically scattered on the large sculptural combination matrix plate from this famous remote Chinese mine. The octos reach 1.5 cm on this impressive piece. The thin hedenbergite matrix plate is dramatically covered with variably sized quartz crystals having a hedenbergite coating. The quartz crystal on the left side is 5.0 cm long. All of the many fluorites in the interior are pristine. You barely notice the couple of broken quartz points in the interior and the periphery wear to the quartz crystals on the edges is certainly only a modest detraction. Here's your chance to get sharp, rich pink fluorite octos on an aesthetic large combination plaste at only a fraction of the price of Swiss or French pink matrix fluorites. Modest purple fluorescence. Fairly valued at $1000-1250 for fluorite quality, richness, size and aesthetics.
