Item Description
Beautiful material from the now famous De'an Mine, and some of the most distinctive Fluorites in the world. This piece features notably and unusually curved Fluorite octahedra which measure up to 3.5 cm across sitting on a thin layer of translucent green Fluorite free of matrix. The strange habit of the crystals is definitely eye-catching, but when they're backlit, they show a gorgeous mix of colors with a saturated purple hue at the core and lovely blue edges. Very good shape all around, save the periphery where it was removed from the pocket wall. Valued at $2,000 in the inventory.
