Description
A large green, cuboctahedral Fluorite crystal is paired with a cluster of dark brown-red Sphalerite crystals from new finds of 2020, in Peru. The lovely rich sea-green Fluorite measures 2 cm across and has both equally dominant octahedron and cube faces with the octahedral faces having a satiny luster and the prominent cube face glassy and serves as a window right into the gemmy Fluorite! The Sphalerite cluster is composed of ten dodecahedral crystals 1 to 2.2 cm in size that exhibit great luster. Their incredibly dark brown-red color contrasts well with the vibrant sea-green color of the Fluorite. This is an attractive and well-balanced Fluorite-Sulfide combo. A perfectly balanced miniature, it glows in a showcase!
