Description

Choice colorful miniature combo consisting of green cubeoctahedral fluorite associated to a flathead, jet black shorl, beautifully perched on top of candid white cleavelandite crystals. Good luster for the shorl and cleavelandite, a bit lower for the fluorite. The specimen has not been treated by me in any way. 

One of my earliest Pakistani rock, which I have obtained at the Bologna Mineral Show 2003 from a quite knowledgeable Pakistani collector.

A lovely miniature coming straight out of my personal collection.
