Item Description

A beautiful, pristine, gem, violet-purple, 1.6 cm complex fluorite cuboctahedron dominates this aesthetic and sculptural small cabinet combination. It is literally as close as you can get to a fluorite that you can call a "jewel". The smaller fluorite crystals and the striking lattice-like form of the sparkly quartz crystals add dramatic character. These have been called "Tanzanite Fluorite" for their beautiful purple color. Please note that there is no Tanzanite on the piece, the nickname is indicative of the color. These came out in a singular 2017 find, with only a few good pockets of this gemmy style since. Get one while you can!
