Item Description
A RARE, spinel-twinned fluorite crystal jauntily perched atop a zig-zag cluster of tan calcite crystals from the famous Naica Mine which has finally been productive again of late. A 1.7 cm, very flattened, gemmy and lustrous, lavender fluorite crystal crowns this very showy miniature. A striking, 1.5 cm, doubly terminated calcite crystal rests at the base of the spinel-twin.
