Fluorite octahedrons on Quartz

Item Description

An impressive, sculptural and aesthetic large plate of translucent, green fluorite octahedrons. The stepped-growth octos are up to 4.0 cm and rest on snow-white quartz. These fluorites came out in modest numbers for only a short time, and have essentially disappeared from the market. It is quite hard now to find nice-looking, undamaged crystals, on or off matrix, and the Chinese dealers value them highly and charge plenty for them. This very fine piece is pristine. Good purple fluorescence. Get a good one, while you can.
