Item Description

A very interesting and showy combination specimen from this well-known old French locale. Sparkly drusy quartz totally covers the sharp fluorite octahedrons, with the well-placed, central impressive crystal being 3.3 cm. You can see the underlying surprise faintly through the quartz. The core of the piece is a rich green fluorite surrounded by colorless fluorite. Excellent and uncommon material from the Larry Krause dealer stock.
