Just look at this extremely unusual Chinese fluorite! It is dramatically modified, with small flat terminations and stepped sub-faces everywhere. The three large crystals are actually roughly euhedral, though they are so drastically modified that the the basic form is not clear. When you look at it closely, you can see that the crystals feature the large faces of their overall form, then subfaces, and on these subfaces, tiny micro-faces. There is a hint of purple within the mostly clear interior. Fascinating! 13 x 9 x 6.5 cm
