Item Description
From a small, very strange pocket found in 2006, this is a crazy cluster of quartz enclosing a green ball of botryoidal (acrystalline) fluorite in its midst. I have seen only a half dozen or so specimens from this find turn up on the market. Charlie, who had a thumbnail suite, purchased this one when they came out for himself. It is a thumbnail that just screams weirdness but at first guess looks much mor elike a prehnite than a fluorite.
