Item Description

A wonderful and gorgeous cluster of gem, violet-purple fluorite cuboctahedrons is aesthetically set on the sculptural, intensely sparkly, 3-dimensional drusy quartz small cabinet matrix. The large, amazing and glassy compound crystal is 2.3 cm across. The beveled faces add much character and interest to the crystals. 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. The beautiful fluorites are pristine, except for the out-of-sight contact on the back of fluorite crystal cluster. The bit of noted black matrix bruising has minimal impact to the overall excellent quality of this piece. These came out in a singular 2017 find, with none since. Get one while you can.
