Item Description
Rich emerald-green, transparent and glassy, fluorite cubes to 3.2 x 3.0 cm form an aesthetic and beautiful large plate from the famous Okorusu Mine. The composition, with the largest cubes along the crest, is enhanced by the bit of purple color-zoning in the largest cube. Periphery wear is noted along the left edge of the top, but is certainly a modest detraction to this dramatic and very colorful piece. The back has been sawed to enhance the display quality. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base, valued at $150, for freel. RICH purple fluorescence. Classic and excellent Okorusu material with a lot of "bling" for the price compared to many of the more modern, smaller crystals, found here. Valued $1000-1250
