Item Description

From the collection of Ed David, a row of three tightly-intergrown crystals of deep purple fluorite. They sit up high on their matrix of stark white quartz, from which they were carefully etched to expose them almost completely, from all sides. The largest crystal measures 3.5 cm across. Has Ed David label with it, with our show price sticker of $2,000 - another fine "spiker" we added to juice up the auctions this week and give a price-adjusted deal on a good rock, at this time. NOTE WE ONLY JUST CAUGHT THE ED LABEL HAS LOCALITY WRONG...IT IS NOT SHANGBAO, THIS IS TYPICAL DE AN FLUORITE...THE ERROR SO OBVIOUS ON the LABEL WHICH WAS TYPED IN WITHOUT THINKING....IT IS FROM Wushan Mine, De An, Jiangxi Province, China
