An outstanding specimen from the famous Las Monias Pocket. The main crystal is 38 x 38 x 32mm, it shows excellent translucency! Minor backlight or justwhite background and you can see these amazing colors. Zones of blue and violet, steps of lavender and set on a thin plate of white tiny quartz crystals. The assemble couldn´t be more aesthetic! The backside was contacted, but it is healed - the fluorite consits of tiny steps. The crystal is sharp terminated with lot of wonderful modifications. A center-piece for each fluorite collection!
