Item Description

Juicy, translucent, rich grape-purple fluorite cuboctahedrons with nifty complex stepped-growth faces cover the mounded matrix on this striking, excellent and colorful large specimen from this well-known mine. The large crystal on the right is 4.2 cm. Choice, pristine large material. The quartz matrix on the back has been sawed to enhance the display quality. Moderate dark purple fluorescence. This is definitely one of the better ones you'll see in this size and is valued at $1500.
