Fluorite (multi-color "phantom" crystals)

Item Description

The Okorusu Mine is one of the premier Fluorite localities in the world. It has been the source of some incredibly fine quality multicolor specimens for many years. I have literally seen Fluorite specimens in every color of the rainbow (that included black and colorless) from Okorusu. This piece is from a discovery about 10 years ago and features a group of very sharp, lustrous, VERY gemmy, cubic crystals measuring up to 2.1 cm on edge which show classic internal "phantoms" with a mix of green, blue and purple hues inside. There is only minor matrix, so the piece is mostly Fluorite. I love the beautiful stepped cubic faces on the corners of the crystals, which almost reminds me of an old Q*bert board from the classic video game. I can't find any damage of note outside of the exterior edges of the piece where it was removed from the pocket. Fine quality and such a a fantastic mix of color! Valued at $950 in the inventory.
