Berbes fluorite with purple color and sharp phantom lines around the edges of the sharp cubic crystals, is one of the most classic of all worldwide fluorites - immediately recognizable. This specimen has the color and a great luster, combined with a presentation face that lets you look deep and directly into the cubes and see all the phantoms so well. The major crystal is a full 3 cm across, and the display face is remarkably pristine. An old classic! Photo by Joe Budd. Comes with a custom lucite base.
