Item Description

A pretty purple fluorite cuboctahedron is beautifully set on the rolling quartz matrix on this aesthetic combination from this well-known fluorite mine. The subtle stepped-growth and satin luster faces markedly enhance this sharp crystal of 3.7 x 3.3 cm. The warm glow of the backlit photo reveals, that the crystal is quite gemmy. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $145 for free. Ex Jim Boteler Fluorite Collection. Common 10 years ago, you don't see much around today. An outstanding small cabinet example of this color varietal and form.
