WOW! This phenomenal piece features a window-clear 2.75 cm fluorite crystal perched smartly atop a nest of quartz crystals. It is good just for that reason alone. However, it has INCLUDED WITHIN it numerous quartz crystals as well as a deeper purple fluorite phantom crystal. The quartzes are included, and not just overgrown by the fluorite - you can tell in person quite clearly by their orientation and relation to the surface of the crystal. I would guess they grew upon the earlier generation of fluorite, which then was covered by the later, transparent crystal that also enclosed the quartz at that time. In PERSON, THE PIECE IS TRULY MESMERIZING and unique, even amongst so many chinese fluorites to hit the market... 7.2 x 3.6 x 3.5 cm
