Item Description
This Chinese 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. The crystals on this sculptural LARGE CABINET plate measure to 2.0 cm. Essentially damage-free. I particularly like the aesthetics of the isolation of the crystal clusters on this large piece.
