Description

This is one cool specimen! It features a quartz crystal partially enclosed in a mound of green fluorite cubes. The quartz is comprised of two generations – a core of clear quartz crystal is overgrown by a generation of opaque (very slightly translucent) white quartz with a myriad of crystal faces. The fluorite crystals are so transparent that you can easily see the enclosed part of the quartz inside the fluorite. In excellent condition – no damage except at the lower right side the fluorite is incomplete. Such a great piece – really stands out.
