Item Description
A 3.9 cm, translucent, frosted, mint-green, fluorite octahedron with purple edge zoning is aesthetically set on this striking CABINET cluster of glassy, frosted, quartz crystals from this well-known Kazakhstan locale. The very well-placed doubly terminated quartz crystal is 4.7 cm. Very nearly pristine, with only trivial periphery wear to the fluorite and quartz. Combination specimens of this fine quality came out in the early to mid-1990s, with none since. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this fine piece at $400, five or more years ago. Valued today at $500-650 and worth it.
