Description

Very big specimen of Sardinian violet fluorite. The big cubes (to 3,5 cm) are made of smaller crystals. Beautiful violet colour and good the clarity, so that you can see better the growth-phantoms inside crystals. All crystals have inside hundreds of shining small pyrite crystals.

You can rarely find a specimen with both this quality and this big dimension!

It's an exceptional specimen, great!
