Bi-colored Fluorite octahedrons on Quartz

Item Description

A dramatic, sculptural and aesthetic large plate of translucent, purple and green fluorite octohedrons to 2.3 cm on etched, needle quartz from the famed De'an Mine of China. Common 5-7 years ago, supplies have dried up and disappeared, with very little new material coming out. This is one of the best large examples we have offered at auction and displays very well from either side. The crystals glow when backlit. Value today???
