Item Description
Water-clear, gem, emerald-green fluorite cuboctahedrons have subtle purple edge phantoms and one purple corner on this very showy small cabinet from this noted locale. The green color is really rich and the large crystal is 3.2 cm on this striking 360-degree piece. Some faces have a light iron oxide coating. The one small area of bruising is on the back side and the periphery wear on one end is out-of-sight. Bright purple fluorescence. The crystals GLOW, when backlit. Valued by the former dealer at $695. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON, the gemminess and glassines made photography difficult.
