Item Description

An outstanding and aesthetic large fluorite and quartz combination from this famous Chinese locale. A 4.4 cm, gorgeous purple cuboctahedron is dramatically set on the sculptural, etched needle quartz matrix. The striking, highly lustrous, pristine fluorite has both water-clear faces and striking frosted faces with stepped growth, adding much pizzazz. The crystal GLOWS, when backlit. This super combo looks great from any direction! Valued at $800-1000 and worth it.
