Item Description

A gorgeous, 2.3 x 2.3 x 1.9 cm, gem, baby-blue, fluorite cube is very jauntily set on undulating matrix of pearlescent, tan, muscovite books. A 1.8 cm, splendent, doubly terminated, arsenopyrite crystal on one side is a super accent. The internal crazing in the water-clear cube adds pizzazz and it is essentially pristine. The interpenetrating cube has a contact, with a bit of bruising, but is certainly not a detraction. This very fine Yaogangxian combination piece displays beautifully from two sides. Super purple fluorescence. Choice material.
