Description

It's a long time we haven't seen these magnificent specimens from La Viesca, some of the best fluorite of worldclass quality to come from Europe!This is a superb cluster of step growth cubes with highest luster! The transparency lets the purple nad green phantoms to show! Yes, there are also green phantoms, showing only under low temperature light, while the specimen looks purple under higher temperature light!The piece is a floater with visually no damage, recrystallized even on the back!Small sphalerite crystals are a nice compliment!
