Item Description

The striking crystal faces with stepped-growth/frosting next to water-clear faces and exotic color-zoning make for a surreal and aesthetic Okorusu fluorite from the Art Soregaroli Collection. The water-clear faces of the large and pristine, 4.0 cm, cuboctahedron reveal the stunning garden-like feature in the green interior. The deep purple edge phantoms and dramatic stepped-growth faces really add pizzazz to this fine and uncommon piece. The two broken faces at the base are out-of-sight in the two fine display veiws. Otherwise, essentially pristine, with only trivial periphery wear. A very high quality and unusual varietal with striking variable purple fluorescence, due to fluorite color variations. Choice material.
