Item Description

An excellent, rich and classic specimen from this noted Swiss locale. This showy plate consists of densely intergrown, stepped-growth fluorite octahedrons. The very glassy, gemmy, frosted octos are a very pretty pink and have striking, beautiful purple with some colorless highlights. A nifty and unusual area near the center consists of almost colorless octos. Both of the impressive compound octos at the crest are 1.6 cm tall. Fine and rich fluorite from a noted locality. Purple fluoresence.
