Banded Fluorite Bowl
Mexico

This bowl is truly spectacular. Sure to be a statement piece in any room, this captivating bowl has been cut and polished from a large piece of banded Fluorite. The bowl has been cut in such a way as to highlight the natural banding of the material. There are clear sections of rich green and purple Fluorite highlighted with stark white veins. This piece features an organic shape complementing the natural material from which it was made. The rim has been left unpolished allowing an insight into the rock's habit and has a rugged crenelated aspect to its top. The basin measures approximately 5.75 inches (14.6 cm) in depth, and the base has been cut flat for stability and easy installation. This decorative piece is not only utilitarian but also very impressive.
