A really sculptural cluster of 1-inch fluorites, very gemmy and with nice green color, perched upon a little hill of sphalerite! Everything is bright and sparkly, and the fluorites leap out 3-dimensionally. To be picky, there is one very tiny ding on one crystal and one very unobtrusive shallow conchoidal sleave out of one tip of the rightmost. I have lowered the price accordingly or this would be $750, and visually it LOOKS like a more expensive piece if you don't mind those close-up, very minor, two spots.
