Item Description

Attractive, and unusal, cluster of three gemmy Quartz crystals, upon which a very good 9 mm Fluorite crystal is perched right at the intersection of the Quartz crystals. This Fluorite, whose habit is an octahedron modified by the cube, is gemmy, lustrous, and a light mint green color. As you often see, the cubic faces have a character all their own - in this case they are tinted purple. The longest Quartz crystal is over 5 cm. A simple, but elegant, specimen. Very good quality.
