A gorgeous, very gemmy fluorite that has to be seen in person to be appreciated. It is STUNNING in person, with sublteties of form and texture on the outside like a rind, around a totally gemmy interior that shines through. It is pristine and complete all around, on a minimal matrix at base. The piece has luster like glass, and sparkles. I was aware of only this piece and one other with two such clusters on matrix, found in early April and offered to me privately at the Shanghai show - the other piece had two crystals admittedly, but was otherwise similar, and was priced beyond even my will to reach. I think these were highly treasured at the mine, and rightfully so.
