Description

A great old specimen of this uncommon association on marble. The quartz is absolutely transparent (like “diamond” quartzs) and this make so difficult to give an exact idea of its beauty on a photo. The fluorite crystal is a “plus” for the sample, because this association is not so easily found. The quarry is today with very limites access to mineral reserchers and this makes very difficult new discoveries. No damage on this good sample. Much better in nature than in photo. Quartz crystal size:2.1 cm / Fluorite crystal size: 0.9 cm
