Item Description
Striking, intense grape-purple, fuorite cubes to 1.8 cm aesthetically fill the vug atop mounded matrix on this very dramatic specimen from an uncommon Moroccan locale. The cubes are translucent, lightly frost and are moderately lustrous. Starkly contrasting drusy quartz lines the vug. Trivial edgewear and periphery wear is noted, but is a very modest detraction. Very seldom on the market in this quality. The base has been sawed to enhance the display quality.
