Huge, gemmy, pastel lavender compound crystals of fluorite are spread all across the starkly contrasting quartz matrix, on this MAJOR Chinese specimen! As abundant as fluorite specimens are, think of how few from around the world have this sort of size and presence; this specimen is almost a foot across and covered with crystals any ONE of which would make a fine specimen all by itself This is a true significant showpiece that would grace any collection - and, in fact, it came out of the superb collection of Ed David.
