Description

The classic location of Berbes is always good for suprises! I found this beauty from an older collection, it is different from most of the other specimens. The matrix is crystallized quartz, but the highlight is the fluorite. The specimen shows perfect colorless, clear crystals as well as some slightly colored ones. It is developed as a perfect floater and free of damage.
