Fluorite and Quartz (rare style) Steve Smale Coll.

Item Description

An extraordinary, dramatically sculptural and rare fluorite and quartz combination from a recent small find near Chifeng City. Pretty mint-green, frosted, translucent fluorite octahedrons, to about 1.5 cm, are fantastically preferentially draped on a stunning and pristine 360-degree cluster of sparkly terminated drusy quartz pillars. The SURPRISE on the bottom is that the pillars are actually smoky quartz crystals covered with the drusy quartz! We do not know the exact location at this time. Bright blue-purple fluorescence. Ex Dr. Steve Smale Collection. Steve has assembled one of the world's finest private collections and is also a world renowned mathematician. He collects only exceptional quality specimens.
