Item Description

Striking, intensely stepped-growth, lustrous and translucent, rich grape-purple fluorite cuboctahedrons are aethetically scattered on the large quartz crystal plate. The small cubes between the cubocts are a nice accent. The fluorites are pristine and the bit of periphery wear to the quartz is certainly only a very modest detraction to this excellent and highly attractive combination. Purple fluorescence.
