A sharp cluster of fluorite with, literally, glassy and gemmy crystals, this is from the finest gem pocket of crystals found here in recent years. We brought it out of China in 2018, and sold it to Kyle Kevorkian at the time, for his miniatures collection. It has since been on display in a special exhibition of miniatures and small cabinet specimens in the Perot Museum in Dallas (label included). This pocket, for sheer quality, remains memorable and no more came out since the time. It has crystals to 1.6 cm with subtle but dramatic edge modifications on a few corners. While Chinese green fluorite is common enough, this is a superior specimen for the size and style.
