Item Description

An exceptional large fluorite plate with highly uncommon pretty sea-green octahedrons from this famous locale. The lustrous, translucent octos, to 3.7 cm, have nifty densely stepped-growth frosted faces. Also, uncommonly the matrix plate is massive light green fluorite with just a bit of quartz, rather than usually seen quartz. The crystal separation and isolation are remarkable on this outstanding and rare varietal. Comes with a custom-made lucite base valued at $175, for free. Bright purple fluorescence. Valued at $1250-1500.
