Item Description
Gemmy and lustrous, unique grass-green fluorite octahedrons cover the large mounded sculptural fluorite plate and are dramatically accented by a 2.0 cm frosted, quartz crystal scepter. The frosted octos reach 2.6 cm on the diagonal and the crestal octo is 2.1 cm tall. The stepped-growth crystals on one side are striking from two directions. The green octos are cored by massive purple fluorite. This interior of this excellent plate is pristine. Two octos have contacted tips, but no damage, per se. The bit of frontal periphery wear reveals the underlying purple fluorite. Excellent and showy combination material from this noted locale. Purple fluorescence.
