Description

A marvelous specimen featuring fluorite crystals to 9mm. The fluorite makes perfect cubes with vitreous and lustrous faces. They are completely transparent and glassy with light purple color and some yellow nuances. The faces edges are darker lavender- purple and that makes the cubes appear like banded. In addition in the corners are seen dark purple triangular phantoms and some spots with darker color too are dispersed on all faces. In very good condition with great purple phantoms!
