This specimen was expensive even directly from the Chinese, and you can see why (I'll be frank - I paid 100 bucks for it wholesale even after the discount as part of a large lot). It is just so stark and dramatic, and different from most The three fluorites (one of them a compound crystal) are beautifully isolated on the matrix, which was carefully sawn and trimmed so that it looks almost like a platter made to serve these beautiful crystals! The crystals are intensely gemmy, and sharp and lustrous as well. What a striking piece! 8.9 x 3.9 x 2.9cm
