Item Description

Pretty sea-green, lightly frosted, translucent, fluorite octahedrons are the focal point of this showy and aesthetic large combination plate from 1990s to early 2000s finds at Chumar Bakhoor. Two, pastel-pink, frosted, hexagonal, apatite crystals to 6 mm rest against a blocky albite crystal and the whole plate is very nicely covered with thin pearlescent muscovite books. The large octo is 2.4 x 2.3 cm. Classic older large combination material from this locale from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. It displays beautifully from either direction. Valued at $500.
