Item Description

This is one of the most classic and well known localities in the world for Fluorite. Nearly every shade of Fluorite known (from colorless to black) is found at Okorusu, and the quality of the crystals only adds to their allure. This beautiful small cabinet display specimen features a group of good quality, sharp, very gemmy, multicolor cubic crystals measuing up to 1.1 cm on edge, which range in color from green to blue to purple and even colorless with notable zoning / "phantom" edges. When backlit, the crystals are GORGEOUS. This is a nice display specimen, and one of the more attractive miniatures for overall appeal, quality and visual impact that I have offered in the auctions. It comes with a label from Nick Carruth of Cornwall, England.
