Description

This specimen is a feast for the eyes! Intergrown fluorite cubes with fine square texture on matrix. The beautiful fluorite shows well shiny surfaces and measures up to 1.7 cm at the edges. The cubes also show very good transparency with a very dark red-violet color and light zoning on one side. A 2nd generation of small fluorites and small high-gloss quartz crystals have also grown on the matrix. Higher shipping costs due to the higher weight.
