Item Description

A superb, aesthetic and pristine large plate of translucent, purple and green fluorite octohedrons to 2 cm from the famed Dean Mine of China. The crystals have a matte or slightly frosted finish, are translucent, and exhibit a complex range of hues: greenish gray color with dark purple overtones. Common 7-8 years ago, supplies have dried up and disappeared, with very little new material coming out of this habit, and only from old stashes I assume. This is a most excellent example. for aesthetic form overall, valued $1250
