Fantastic combination from China of a perfect formed octahedral pink fluorite which is embedded and perfectly exposed placed on a base of dozens of metallic lustrous crystals of arsenopyrite and some beige mineral inbetween that give an awesome contrast. The fluorite shows a good colouration and the esthetics of this specimen is also nicely balanced.
