Description

When I first bought the very small find of these fluorite, I noticed the metallic-looking inclusions but had no idea what it was. I bought them for the nice color zoning and unusual color they have. I was recently informed that these inclusions are silver! What a surprise! I was keeping this cute one in the collection and here it is now!
