This really large grapefruit-sized cluster of solid fluorite is very impressive for overall flash and the number of bevelled crystals per square inch. It is, however, slightly damaged with a ding here and there, and one broken crystal ont he left-lower edge. Now, they do not immediately detract, but they are there. So, I priced this down from the initial $1250 I would have put on it to make up for those small defects. The whole piece is translucent to transparent, and it is otherwise completely crystallized all around, with galena and sphalerite attached in back. The large crystal atop is over 3 cm and fully formed, very 3-dimensional!
