Item Description
Translucent, moderately lustrous, pretty grass-green, fluorite octahedrons with purple interiors form a showy and excellent intergrown plate from recent Chinese finds in a famous area. The octos measure up to 3.0 cm. The interior of the plate is in excellent condition and the modest periphery wear is a minimal detraction. Ex Ernie and Vera Schlichter Collection. We believe the fluorite is from Hunan Province and not Jiangxi Province, as the label states. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
