Description

What a wonderful fluorite - the faces show excellent luster, the translucency is very fine and the color is very intense. The crystals show uncountable tiny steps - all of them razor sharp and the contrast with the light framing of snowy white quartz is pure eye-candy. No significant damages to report, back-side was on the rock.
