Item Description

Absolutely limpid and beautiful, light mint-green, fluorite cubes make up an impressive, mounded, CABINET specimen from recent finds in China. The largest cube is 2.5 cm. All of the cubes have very nifty, frosted, narrow beveled edges. Rotating the piece and looking into the crystals is surreal. The interior of the piece is nearly pristine, with only very trivial bruising. Periphery wear is noted at the base and on one side. The base has been sawed to enhance the display appeal and this piece shows well without aid. This is contemporary classic material of good quality. Bright purple fluorescence. Once common, specimens are becoming harder to find. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
