A thick bed of coarse rosetted platy white to cream Muscovite crystals forms an attractive base upon which a well-formed, gemmy, translucent, pink complex crystal of Fluorite displays aesthetically, surrounded by excellent prismatic crystals of gemmy pastel aqua-blue Beryl var. Aquamarine. A fine classic combination specimen from Pakistan. Ex Jesse Fisher and Joan Kureczka collection.
