Item Description

An exceptionally aesthetic large fluorite and quartz combination from recent finds at this well-known locale. An impressive and pristine, 6.7 cm, octahedron is dramatically set on the most artistic matrix of sparkly quartz points and the banded quartz the octo rests in. The lustrous, translucent octo has a hard-to-see pretty sea-green interior with a frosted/etched light purple outer layer. Well-prepared, the piece displays fabulously from either side without aid. Purple fluorescence. Valued at $1250-1500.
