A totally gemmy 1.7 cm crystal of the quality found long ago, certainly in the early 1800s as this is characteristic of a specimen from the era. MUCH BETTER in person, this is an outstanding thumbnail example that is not just a small fluorite, but rather a fine specimen that leaps out at you, even if it happens to be small. Much better than the average little fluorite thumb you might see, in other words. This was part of a small collection of variously colored fluorite thumbs and toenails assembled by Eric Asselborn over the years.
