Description

This just a mini, but what one. A superbly defined, gemmy amber coloured cubed Fluorite perfectly perched on a cluster of white, bladed Celestine. The Fluorite has an excellent phantom as well and is pristine. The Celestine is well developed, sharp and transparent. In good shape but not pristine, but the crystals are only the matrix. A very attractive piece.
