Item Description

Heavily etched, purple and green, spinel-twinned fluorite crystals appear to comprise nearly all of this dramatic, sculptural miniature. This fine, striking, sculptural piece has showy and uncommon accents: glassy, colorless (achroite) beryl crystals to 8 mm are hidden on the back along with scattered yellow muscovite plates and clusters of hyalite opal. Modest purple fluorescence on the fluorite and neon-green for the hyalite opal. Ex Charlie Key dealer stock. Excellent and rare two-sided combination material.
