While Toenail is not an official "competition" size classification, sometimes thumbnail specimens are just a bit too big for competition rules, often referred to as "boxbusters." There is no standard size for toenails, but they overlap a thumbnail and a miniature.

Item Description

Several gemmy, lustrous, purple "phantom" crystals of Fluorite are sitting on Dolomite matrix. The crystals are cubic in habit with dodecahedral modifications and measure up to 7.5 mm on edge. Good quality overall, and displays well from several angles. This mine has produced a great wealth of habits and colors of Fluorite specimens and this piece would make a great addition to a Fluorite suite, or a Chinese mineral collection.
