Item Description
An excellent, aesthetic and scuptural large specimen of isolated, translucent, purple and green fluorite octohedrons to 2.0 cm (on the top) on quartz from the famed De'an Mine of China. The octo faces are frosted. Massive green and purple fluorite is underneath the etched, 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. Modest purple fluorescence.
