This incredibly lustrous cluster of Fluorite from Okorusu is a deep shade of purple, that illuminates with magenta tones depending on the lighting. The piece is so saturated that it appears almost black under normal light, but pops with vibrant colour under strong backlighting. There is a bit of damage to the edges of the main cubic crystals, but it does not distract from the piece. A very beautiful piece from this world famous locality!
