ELEGANT FLUORITE VASE
China
Masterfully carved from a single piece of fluorite, clean and elegant in form, this modern sculpture is bursting with colorful life beneath its highly-polished surface: the deep forest green and inky purple of this mineral swirl and run together like the gaseous clouds of a distant nebula. Several parts of this vase provide a clear window into the otherwise eerily translucent and captivating colored planes of crystal growth, and the stripes and bands of color run riot across its entire surface. With a tapered neck and flared rim, it measures 11 5/8 inches high and is presented in a Chinese fabric-covered box.
