A charming small-cabinet sized specimen highlighted by two translucent light aqua blue colored Fluorite cubes with multiple sets of sharp blue phantoms perched on a partial Quartz crystal with terminations. The Fluorites have highly textural stepped growth faces that only partially cover the cubes showing the underlying smooth faces of the earlier Fluorite growth. The largest cube measures 2.6 x 2.6 x 2.7 cm. The Fluorites are in great condition with the Quartz having minor nicks on the terminations. While the side of the Quartz has been contacted it has recrystallized. The piece is all about the striking combination of the beautiful blue Fluorite sitting against the background of the contrasting Quartz crystal. A very desirable and highly sought after aesthetic!
