Description
An attractive cluster of large translucent mostly lustrous purple fluorite crystals measuring to 8.0 cm on edge without matrix. Slight chipping present as seen, this one is still in good condition and quite pretty. Very nice when backlit as shown at the end of the video. This is crystallized naturally all around with no points of attachment.
