Item Description
This aesthetic cluster of stacked lustrous fluorite cubes is dominated by a striking 2.3 x 2.2 x 1.8 cm at the top and by the dramatic preferential coating of iron oxide-tinted, nubby, drusy quartz crystals. These very deep grape-purple looking cubes hold a beautiful SURPRISE, when strongly backlit! Gorgeous, sharply defined, color zoning of teal-blue, teal-green and purples are visible within the translucent crystals. The large cube is essentially pristine and the frontal display view is in great shape. A fine combination with rich purple fluorescene.
