incl. custom base

This extraordinary specimen combines powerful depth of color with delicate elegance. The intense violet fluorite presents itself in the form of numerous clearly defined cubes that harmoniously combine to form an artistic ensemble. The cream-colored barite forms a gentle contrast, creating an elegant accent and lending the piece additional visual sophistication.

Fluorite cubes - geometry in perfection

The numerous fluorite cubes display impressive precision in their formation: clear edges, sharp surfaces and a wonderfully rich violet that changes slightly in depth depending on the incidence of light. The cubes have fine growth structures. This look makes the piece particularly dynamic - it always appears new and exciting depending on the perspective.

Barite - a delicate contrast to the color intensity

Small, cream-colored barite crystals appear between the fluorite cubes. This soft splash of color creates an attractive contrast to the intense violet coloration and at the same time underlines the beauty of the cube structures. The barite complements the fluorite in a subtle way - a perfect balance between main actor and fine detail.

Radiance and intensity 

Depending on the lighting situation, the enormous radiance of this piece is revealed: under direct light, the fluorites appear deep purple. If light is introduced from behind or from the side, the violet glows intensely. Particularly in combination with the lighter barite, fascinating plays of light are created that captivate the eye time and time again.

Exclusive presentation - high-quality and stylish

For optimum presentation, we produced a custom-made base made of clear acrylic glass in-house, on which the piece sits securely and elegantly. The discreet engraving of the place of discovery lends the structure additional exclusivity without distracting from the natural beauty of the mineral.

The base perfectly accentuates the colors and textures of the piece and ensures a high-quality presentation in any collection or display case.
