Item Description

Okorusu is known for beautifully-colored, sharply-zoned fluorites, and this example from the Polish Prodigy Pocket (mined in 2010, but kept private till 2017), is a clear demonstration of why this locality is prized! This is one of the most famous fluorite pockets ever, actually, from anywhere. Any fluorite collector who has been around a while remembers it. Compared to most, which are flat plates, this has wonderful 3-dimensional hillocks and shape to it. This is a rather large example, in fine condition, and such have not been on the market in years now. The largest crystal on this piece is 2 cm across, though even the tiny crystals here show the best purple zoning! It is all complete, all beautiful, and very elegant. We almost never have one for sale anymore and they are all hoarded in collections, except for a few like this. These are unique in the fluorite world.
