Description

The glossy crystals are light lavender and the clarity is like glass. The crystals show sharp terminated phantoms, in the center this zoning is dark violet and there is also a thin sharp zoning in light blue color along the edges. The edges of fluorite crystals are all framed with tiny sparkling quartz crystals. Looks nice on my photography, but it is even better in person. No significant damages to report, backside was on the rock.
