We have been leaking out Okarusu fluorites for some time now, but every now and then one comes along that is really different and exceptional, such as this one. The crystals, while not large (to 1.3 cm), are extremely sharp and transparent, so that you can see the matrix right through them. They show the wonderful shades of purple and green that make the Okarusu famous. The crystals have grown on a sculptural matrix that extends up to the left and right, and bits of quartz add an extra accent. The two "branches" rise from a flat matrix "base," so the specimen does not even need a stand. This piece is actually much prettier in person than the photos..an absolute smoker. 9.0 x 6.8 x 6.4 cm
