Item Description

This fascinating combination specimen was formed when transparent to translucent, light purple fluorite crystals completely covered a showy cluster silvery stibnite crystals, which you can see clearly in the center of the fluorite. Complete all-around and nearly pristine : the large termination is pristine although there are a couple of broken tips on secondary crystals. FROM A ONETIME FIND IN THAILAND OF THE LATE 1980s, THESE RARELY TURN UP ON THE MARKET TODAY! BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF A VERY RARE FLUORITE STYLE.
