A flattened cube of nearly transparent, rich blue fluorite, measuring 5 cm across, forms the matrix for several, cream colored, lustrous, calcite crystals, the largest of which measures 3 cm in length. There are a few cleaves mainly at lower-facing corners, but obviously the color simply over-runs any minor defect, as its so incredible visually. It is one of the most gorgeous fluorites I have seen, perfect or not. This came from one special pocket of neon blue fluorite found maybe a decade ago, and there were very few available. I have seen no other combination specimens from the find and none at all in several years, on the market. 6.9 x 5 x 4.1 cm
