Description

A very rare sample of Bestvina fluorite. Several big cubes formed this very tri-dimensional assemble, the faces are completely covered with tiny, water-clear and highly lustrous quartz crystals. Should be high ranked for the classic locality! Hard to photograph, much better and more tri-dimensional in person.
