Item Description

A sculptural cluster of translucent fluorite cubes with rich purple color and frosted faces. Some faces have stepped-growth and some are smooth, with all having nifty darker edge phantoms. The cubes are a darker purple, than the photos show. The crystal GLOWS violet, when backlit. The bit of edge wear is certainly a modest detraction. Interestingly, no fluorescence. From a 2012 find. Nice form with multiple display views.
