Item Description

A facinating and showy bi-colored fluorite miniature from the Erongos and the Charlie Key dealer stock. Translucent, lustrous, pretty purple fluorite cubes have striking, frosted faces and are jauntily perched atop a matrix of rich yellow fluorite cubes. The interpenetrating purple twins are up to 2.0 cm on edge. The back shows green fluorite and even pencil schorls! The fluorite fluoresces purple and pink under LW UV light and the stringers of hyalite opal fluoresce neon-green under SW UV light. Very nifty and unusual!
