Description

Incredible beautiful and esthetic example from India. A matrix consisting of purple and well crystalised amethyst which is hosting a perfect cluster of two intergrown botryoidal fluorite crystals with a size of 74 mm across in exceptional quality. The placement of the fluorite is just perfect balanced on the verry top of the specimen. Also the imposant size of the overall specimen is for sure outstanding for this rare fluorite species and extremely eye-catching in several positions. The first two pictures are done with some additional backlight to get a better impression about the fantastic colour of the fluorite.
