Item Description

The color-zoning of this striking and aesthetic Okorusu fluorite make for a dramatic small cabinet specimen. The emerald-green centers of the frosted, translucent crystals are flanked by the very nifty stepped-growth corners with highly complimentary shades of dark to blush-purple. The bright zoned colors and stepped-growth corners really add pazzazz to this fine and uncommon piece. This is actually a near floater piece, as there is only a small matrix attachment stalk on the center of the back! The piece has an unusual pattern of rich purple fluorescence.
