Beautiful miniature: a vug in granite hosts lustrous smoky quartz, bright orange gemmy spessartine crystals with nice crystal faces/striations, accompanied by greenish mica and a very nice translucent colourless to slight greenish fluorite octahedron. Supposed to be from Yunlin (because of the occurrence of fluorite). Trimmed at the back by sawing, unobtrusive, very nice on display.
