Description

Lustrous light green fluorite forms a basis and is mixed with the famous blue/purple colour changing fluorite. This is a large cabinet that has no damage at all on the display face, and shows no real points of attachment it is as it came out of the pocket in 2018. A really beautiful display specimen showing off the nature of the occurance perfectly. It is also a great example of the cubic and octaheral

The piece shows partial colour change - only on the blue bits that turn to light purple in warm white lighting.  It is from recent collecting in November 2018 and aquired from the miner in december 2018.

We are happy to combine shipping or stockpile until it makes sense to ship due to shipping price. We only charge actual shipping costs.
