Description

A superb combination from a recent, small discovery. The Feldspat is snowy white, sharp terminated and developed as floater. At the top you can see 2 modified fluorite crystals which show a very sttrong saturation. To the left hand side a milky quartz crystal is attached, to the right hand side you can see a sharp, lustrous aquamarine crystal. What a fantastic, eye-catching and rare combination! No significant damages to report.
