Description

This is a superfine specimen of pale amber coloured cubes of Fluorite with a breeze of violet on the edges. The cubes are almost transparent and partly gemmy. They are excellent defined, sharp and mostly pristine. There is just a small imperfection on the bottom of the piece. The surface of the Fluorite is showing an interesting quadrangular pattern. Probably the best "Fontsante" we ever offered in an auction. Fine old-timed material.
