This is a really fine Okorusu fluorite cabinet piece. It is nearly complete-all-around, nearly a floater. It has great transparency, and the crystals are so sharp you can cut yourself on them. The sharp cubic crystals reach 2.2 cm in size, and form elongated stalactitic fingers leaping out from a common core. I have not seen such a piece, in overall aspect, from here. It is 3-dimensional, literally spraying out in all directions, for a crystal style that tends to be only found in flat plates. Ex. George Holloway Collection (noted for fluorites and fine taste, both) .
