Item Description

A beautiful, gemmy, 3.0 cm, grape-purple fluorite cuboctahedron with nifty stepped-growth frosted faces is aethetically set on the rolling nubby quartz matrix on this adorable small cabinet from recent finds at the De'an Mine. The fluorite looks like a purple egg yolk, with the white quartz around it. The crystal glows when backlit! Modest purple fluorescence. Excellent fluorite for the locale.
