Item Description

This fluorite find has to be one of the most exciting of the past five years - large plates of razor-sharp, translucent octahedrons with unique purple and green tones, in contrasting stark white quartz. The mining has stopped now - any specimens you see are from existing stock. This EXCELLENT, 3-dimensional CABINET plate has crystals that measure to 3.3 cm. All of the major crystals on the interior of the piece are pristine. The periphery wear very minimally impacts the overall quality of this now hard-to-obtain material. The two backlit photos highlight the translucency of the fluorite and quartz and unique purple and green color saturations of the octahedrons.
