Octahedral Fluorite (fluorescent)

Item Description

An impressive large plate of translucent, green fluorite octahedrons. The octahedrons reach 6.0 cm and rest on etched quartz. These fluorites came out in modest numbers for only a short time, and have essentially disappeared from the market. It is quite hard now to find nice-looking, undamaged crystals, on or off matrix, and the Chinese dealers value them highly and charge plenty for them. The specimen is in very good shape, overall, with only a bit of bruising to one octo. The modest periphery wear is noted. This striking large piece displays well from several angles. Bright purple fluorescence.
