Item Description
A sculptural translucent fluorite cube with rich purple color and frosted faces. This showy piece has really striking and well-defined stepped-growth and some have nifty darker edge phantoms. The crystal GLOWS violet, when backlit. Complete all-around, the back has striking hillocky dense stepped-growth. The bit of edge wear is certainly a modest detraction. Interestingly, no fluorescence. From a 2012 find. Nice form. The back is very interesting.
