Item Description
An impressive, sculptural and colorful large GEM spinel-twinned fluorite crystal from famous Chumar Bakhoor. The beautiful baby-pink tabular crystal has sharp, well-defined faces and typical for the locale, etched/frosted faces. One side is richly etched from muscovite blades. The remaining muscovite blades and etching add pizzazz to this two-sided piece. One face on the bottom is water-clear and dramatically shows the limpid interior of this excellent piece. The piece could cut a large gemstone. Fluorites of this style, quality and size are very uncommon from here. Valued at $2000-2500. 503 grams or 1.1 pounds mass. Purple fluorescence. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
