Item Description
Lustrous, translucent, rich green, fluorite octahedrons to 3.6 cm with frosted faces are aesthetically clustered and dramatically accented with a pearlescent muscovite "book" and uncommon areas of orange-brown, iron oxide inclusions. The combination piece has fine form and the presentation face is pristine. Mark my words, these are contemporary classics. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!! SOMEDAY, we will look back on these the way we do now for Illinois fluorites of 20-30 years ago even, and wonder why they were so darned cheap, mark my words. Purple fluorescence.
