Item Description
Okorusu fluorites are notoriously hard to capture in photos, but this is a really good bi-colored one from a recent find. The crystals, to 2.1 cm, are extremely glassy and lustrous. The outer, essentially water-clear zone of all the crystals reflects the interior colors of beautiful magenta above deep purple cores. This very fine, 360-degree, mounded piece is very nearly pristine, with only super-trivial edge and periphery wear. These are some of the best Okorusu fluorites found in a while. Excellent purple fluorescence. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
