An extremely elegant, 3-dimensional specimen of this classic! This piece features a red-pink octohedraon sitting smack in the middle of very gemmy smoky quartz crystals which serve to frame it and highlight the color! This remarkable specimen was acquired from the collection of the strahler who found it, Otto Werther. For its size and price range, I think it is one of the best out there on the market and it was one of Ed's more well-known specimens in its original state (by which I should clarify - it was a larger plate with damage in the middle, and so I trimmed it to release this piece, and another which will be shown later featuring two slightly smaller fluorites on a plate about twice this size).
