1.17 kg Royal Violet fluorite with calcite on a natural matrix from Skardu, Gilgit‑Baltistan, Pakistan, featuring strongly formed fluorite cubes with violet colour gradients.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This extraordinary showcase made of fluorite and calcite is a prime example of the geometric perfection that nature is capable of. The imposing fluorite cubes display a clear, strictly cubic architecture – sharply defined, often translucent, and full of growth structures that reveal their inner zones in the light. A look into the depth reveals violet color gradients from light amethyst tones to rich royal purple.

Between the fluorite cubes sit honey-colored calcite crystals, breaking the overall scene like natural light islands. Gentle iron oxide accents lay like a golden-brown veil over selected surfaces, further highlighting the edges and visually grounding the composition.

Especially remarkable is the blend of geometric rigor and lively, three-dimensional dynamics—as if a crystalline cityscape of violet towers and terraces is unfolding before the eye.

An object that you need to rotate and explore: each side reveals new structures, shadow plays, and reflections. A spectacle for discerning collectors who appreciate maximum presence, striking architecture, and natural color intensity.
