Very aesthetic oddity from Lavrion, this piece has calcite spheres on matrix of fluorite!The piece looks like a snowy landscape with bluish fluorite under yellow calcite and aragonite covering them! The backlight effect is increadible!Only edges marginally are contacted and the back is termnated and rehealed!Two small dings on calcite are invisible!
