Description

Very fine miniature of fluorite cubic crystal of icy green color on matrix of thin quartz points. One of the corners of the cube is absent, but it seems to be crystallized and actually a bizarre form of the crystal. The crystal is very clean and one can see the quartz points that are included inside. The miner had to use a saw to remove the piece safely, but it can be trimmed to look natural. No damage!
