Description

The best thumbnail from this selection! A sharp terminated, glossy Fluorite crystal with wonderful tones of purple to lavender attractively set on a small plate of matrix, which is covered with tiny sparkling Quartz-crystals. The backside of the crystal was partly contacted - but this material is from such a rare locality, that no one can wait for the perfect piece. Regarding this rarity we have to accept minor compromises. Overall a very eye-catching and aesthetic piece.
