Item Description

The great locality of Kara-Oba in Kazakhstan has produced some very attractive Fluorite specimens over the years. This piece is a very aesthetic specimen featuring an almost "Faden"-esque group of intergrown purple and green, gemmy cubes of Fluorite which are sitting on a gemmy, sharp, doubly-terminated Smoky Quartz crystal. A great association piece and a nice miniature display specimen from this well known locality in central Kazakhstan. The piece can be displayed from several angles, and is certainly one of the most aesthetic pieces of this material that I have offered.
