I looked through literally 1000 specimens from 2 large, huge pockets, to pick my choice of the very best of this new find. Out of all the smaller sized specimens, mostly all humdrum and similar, a few such as this stood out. This piece has a gorgeous cluster perched atop a natural pedestal of fluorite. The radial spray is truly complete all around, like a disco ball frozen with orange lights shooting out of it. It is as nearly pristine as you can realistically get, with just a few very minor broken crystals amidst dozens. The individual crystals on this specimen spray out dramatically, and are very transparent. They reach 1.7 cm in size. This specimen stands out to my eye for its completeness, balance, and the matrix. No question, it is pricey for a small example from this find, where most smaller pieces sell for less...BUT its a very rare combination of qualities, and one that quite literally LEAPS out from the crowd of other pieces around it.
