Item Description

An extraordinary cluster of light to medium purple, lustrous, gem Fluorite crystals that display very sharp and fine internal zoning. The crystal to the right that is dominantly cubic, with minor rhombic dodecahedral modifications, displays exquisite internal zoning from the rim of the crystal to the core! These interior zones are highlighted by their slightly darker purple outlines and are striking! This crystal measures 2.9 x 2.7cm across the cube face. The adjacent crystal to the left exhibits equally prominent cube and rhombic dodecahedral forms and shows a thick pale purple rim and a large, markedly blue-purple interior zone that is in the form of a cube! This one measures 3.5 x 2.7cm. Several other Fluorite crystals adorn this larger cubes on the sides and top. A truly sensational piece with no damage at all to the display face and only contacting at the bottom and back where contacted in the pocket. MUCH better than the photos show!
