Item Description
A classic, outstanding and pristine fluorite from Chamonix. This is a complete all-around and aesthetic intergrown miniature cluster of doubly terminated octahedrons. The glassy, transparent octos have the vibrant pink color these fluorites are renowned for and frosted faces. Every turn of this 360-degree piece presents a beautifully different perspective to this exceptional and highly desirable specimen. The attachment points were the two fragments of adularia crystals. Rich purple fluorescence. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $145, for free. Fairly valued at $2500 for exceptional quality and color. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON! The glassiness and luster made photography difficult. For the size, this is a superb miniature and can go at a fair price compared to the prices we see in Europe on these.
