Item Description
A very fine, aesthetic and pristine large plate of translucent, purple and green fluorite octohedrons to 2.7 cm on quartz from the famed De'an Mine of China. The frosted octos are etched out of the banded, needle quartz layer. Common 5-7 years ago, supplies have dried up and disappeared, with very little new material coming out. This is a most excellent example, that glows when backlit. The isolated largest octo on the edge of the piece really adds pazzazz. Value today???
