A plate of clear to translucent Quartz crystals to 2cm in length host a group of Fluorite crystals and a single Ferberite crystal. Three tightly clustered, pale blue Fluorite crystals display internal zoning consisting of purple phantoms. The Fluorite crystals measure up to 2cm across and are accented by a tabular, lightly striated, 1.2cm Ferberite crystal and a small spray of needle Quartz crystals perfectly placed between the Ferberite and the edge of one of the Fluorites. A nicely balanced piece in excellent condition with only a couple of small broken Quartz crystals at the back of the piece and a prepared bottom. Better in person!
