A huge 6-cm crystal, very nicely colored a pastel blue with phantoms, perched on quartz and a bit of matrix. The fluorite is beautiful, for its color and its unusual elongation. It is very gemmy, so that you can look deep down into it. In person it is extremely 3-dimensional, and hence the previous owner's valuation at $3750 is not insane - in person. But based on the photos and how I amortised this lot, we priced it down quite a bit for the web.
