Item Description

A striking, most impresssive and complex, 4.0 cm, colorless, gem fluorite cuboctahedron is dramatically perched atop layered matrix, which includes a vein of sphalerite crystals. It looks like a cut gemstone. Most of the crystal faces are frosted, but the few that aren't, show the water-clear clarity of this beauty. The large crystal is pristine, with contacting on the base of the crystal on the out-of-sight back having no damage, per se. Classic and excellent older combination material from the famous mines at Naica and then Art Soregaroli Collection. Faint purple fluorescence. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
