Item Description

Gorgeous, gem, emerald-green, fluorite cuboctahedrons have fabulous preferential contrasting water-clear faces adjacent to densely stepped-growth frosted faces and striking interior purple color-zoning on this surreal and excellent mounded specimen from Okorusu and the Art Soregaroli Collection. The large edge crystal is 3.3 cm across. A dramatic, 360-degree piece, pristine in the interior, except for one small spot of contacting with bruising. Periphery wear along one edge can be strongly minimized by the correct display view. Rich purple fluorescence. And a very uncommon and fine varietal. Value? We feel in the $750-900 range is fair.
