An exquisite plate of Fluorite octahedrons with a unique vivid orchid-purple color that I have only seen on a very few pieces.  This small find of sharp octahedral Fluorite of 2021 is not known to many collectors and dealers in the mineral world because only a handful of these had been found.  When these came to the market they were quickly snapped up and disappeared, only through exclusive and long-maintained relationship could these be acquired.  A real treasure from China, this masterpiece is rich with robust, orchid-purple to intense lavender dream purple colored Fluorite crystals, they are even more beautiful in person!  A thin plate of white colored matrix is embedded between two plates of Fluorite, creating a starkly contrasting coloration.  The Fluorite crystals glows an amazing blue under longwave UV lighting 365nm.  They occurs as textbook sharp octahedrons and the symmetry are just outstanding!  In pristine condition, this is an elegant, really visually attractive piece that is so different from others and the size is just amazing!  Comes with a high quality copper-wired display stand.
