Item Description
Lustrous, translucent, pretty purple, fluorite cuboctahedrons to 2.4 cm are aesthetically clustered on a large circular plate of etched quartz. The pristine fluorites have intense, stepped-growth faces, which adds character. Common 5-7 years ago, supplies have dried up and disappeared, with very little new material coming out. This is a most excellent example, that glows when backlit. Value today???
