Item Description

A very aesthetic and sculptural 360-degree small cabinet cluster of intergrown fluorite octahedrons nicely accented with a bit of drusy quartz from this now famous remote deposit. They look like enechelon purple Great Pyramids from Egypt! The gemmy sharp octos have beautiful variable grape-purple color with frosted satin lustre faces. The two dominating large octos are doubly terminated, at 3.7 and 2.8 cm tall, and are essentialy pristine. The smaller, higher octo has only a trivial termination wilber. The octos glow, when back lit. Choice, richly colored fluorite with fine form from this noted locale.
