HUGE, gemmy, light teal-blue fluorite crystals (to 3.5 cm on edge!), ranged along the top of a cluster of quartz, with minor accenting arsenopyrite crystals. There is a very minor bit of wear, but almost unnoticeable relative to the size of the specimen. These big crystals are so gemmy that you can see the matrix very clearly right through them! This large and impressive specimen can be displayed perhaps even more beautifully upright, with the biggest crystals at the top. 12.7 x 9.2 x 7.1cm
