Excellent and intricate grouping of three highly intergrown, pastel blue cubes of Fluorite to 2.1 cm across. The luster is superb, and the clarity is high. On close inspection, you can see a delicate purple zone just below the faces. Sitting on well-formed Quartz crystals, this is a fabulous miniature example of why this mine is known for producing such incredible combination specimens
