You can see a little euhedral fluorite crystal quite clearly, floating right in the middle of the fine, transparent quartz crystal that juts up from the matrix! As this was shot to show the fluorite inclusion clearly, the matrix was not emphasized, but it is actually quite pretty - bright sparkly pyrite with intermixed quartz crystals, the attractiveness of which does not show up in the pic. At any rate - this is an interesting, pretty and uncommon Russian specimen purchased from Dr. Petr Sztacho as he and Jaroslav Hyrsel were accumulating so many included pieces before publication of Jaroslav's book on the subject. 7.5 x 7 x 6 cm
