Size: 7 1/4" X 6"
Price: $275.00
Description:
A choice large cabinet specimen of the fluorite that caused great
excitement maybe 4 years back when these first came out, due to the
incredible sharpness and size of these octahedrons. The piece is
perfect, undamaged and has NOT been oiled (as the majority of these
are) and features large (to 1+ inches) Purple octahedral Fluorite
crystals on a snow white Quartz matrix. The "crystal Bridge" at the top
of the specimen adds MUCH to the overall aesthetics of the piece.

measures over 2 inches(!) on an edge. The crystals are matte
lustered with a frosted Quartz coating on some
faces. Awesome cabinet specimen with giant crystals that are arranged
quite aesthetically with the contrasting white
