Item Description

On this large specimen, an astoundingly glass-clear, razor-sharp crystal of fluorite (2.8 cm along the edge is accompanied by a tumble of smaller, equally fine crystals, on a beautiful setting of snowy quartz. These crystals are notoriously hard to shoot in a way that captures their glass-like quality - they are every bit the equal of a good green fluorite from Dalnegorsk.
