Item Description
This Chinese fluorite find has to be one of the most exciting of the past five years - large plates of razor-sharp, translucent octahedrons with unique purple and green tones, in contrasting stark white quartz. The mining has stopped now - any specimens you see are from existing stock. The crystals on this VERY SHOWY, curved, CABINET plate measure to 2.7 cm. All of the crystals on this fine plate are purple, except the one on the bottom left, which is purple and green.
