Pretty violet, translucent fluorite octahedrons with satin lustre faces are densely intergrown and form an impressive large 3-dimensional specimen from the famous Huanggang deposit. The striking sharp, more isolated octo in the middle is 3.0 cm and the crowning sharp octo is 2.8 cm. Scattered small rosettes of bright metallic-gray lollingite plates are a typical and excellent accessory. Backlighting highlights the fine translucence of the crystals. Octahedral violet fluorite of this hue and quality is very uncommon from this now well-known remote locale. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base, valued at $175 for free. Valued at $1500-2000. Better in person!
