Item Description
Fluorites come in virtually all colors of the rainbow, and are some of the few gems that occur in multicolor stones. I've seen this type of Fluorite from China, but rarely from Argentina. The stone comes from a trusted source so I have confidence that it's genuine. The stone shows alternating purple and yellow color banding throughout. It's a very attractive gem and is only very slightly included with an elongated "Emerald" cut. The $100 starting bid puts the stone under $3 per carat which is below wholesale on this stone.
