Description

Esthetic, contrastful drusy of over a dozen of purple fluorite cubes nicely laid on a carpet of white quartz. The cubes, mostly in pristine conditions (provided some peripheral bruising) display often zoning and phantoms and provide a great esthetic to the overall specimen. Great transparency for those fluorites. Pretty scarce material in this quality. Very minimal peripheral bruising.

My first Is Murvonis specimens, I have this pretty cabinet since I first acquired it from a Sardinian collector at the Bologna Mineral Show 2001. In my personal collection ever since.
