Bi-colored Fluorite on Dolomite (Pellman & Bartels Coll.)

Item Description

Two striking fluorite cuboctahedrons are very aesthetically set on the contrasting dolomite crystal plate on this RARE, exceptional and sculptural small cabinet combination from the famous Shangbao Mine. The fluorites look like two bulging frog eyes! The pristine gem, lustrous, bi-colored gray with faint hints of green and starkly contrasting purple areas, crystals to 3.5 cm, have fantastic dense stepped-growth faces. Glass-clear terminations faces above the purple areas reveal the interior gemminess, adding pizzazz. Purple fluorite flurescence. The piece has a fine provenance, having been in the collection of world-class collectors, Norm and Roz Pellman. Ex Ted Bartels Collection. Valued at $1250-1500. Such combinations in this quality are RARE from here.
