Description

Another unusual specimen.

Several coated quartz crystals are present on this fluorite specimen and what I believe is quartz pseudomorph after barite.

The fluorite crystals have the usual green color with purple edges. But that's the only usual thing about it.

It's heavy- so please calculate more postage than usual.
