Item Description

A striking, 3.8 x 3.6 x 3.1cm, 360-degree pristine fluorite octahedron is jauntily perched on quartz crystal matrix on this aesthetic combination miniature from a 2009 Arizona find. The octo, with interesting growth features is mostly opaque rich dark purple, but there are sections at the base with pleasing violet translucence. This very fine piece is from miarolitic cavities in granite. Uncommon and excellent material, Bruce Murphy Collection
