Description

This material is really hard to photograph! The crystals are gemmy and water-clear, the faces show a wonderful texture like melted ice. The assemble of the particular specimen is very aesthetic with one exposed crystal (25mm on edges) directly in the center. It is framed with several smaller crystals and set on light grey matrix, which is covered with tiny sparkling quartz crystals. The Fluorite shows light lavender color. No significant damages to report.
