Item Description

This Chinese fluorite find has to be one of the most exciting of the past five years. Four, razor-sharp, lightly etched, translucent octahedrons with pretty purple tones, are aesthetically clustered on contrasting stark white quartz. The mining has stopped now - any specimens you see are from existing stock or recycled collections. This excellent plate has crystals that measure to 2.3 cm. The crystals are pristine, except for out of sight periphery wear on one octo. Ex Larry Krause dealer stock.
