Cute small cabinet specimen of mounded intergrown Fluorite cubes up to 1.4 cm in size. The turquoise blue phantoms highlight the contrasting white inner cores sitting on a white Fluorite matrix. There is some preferential white coating on some of the faces on the backside. The piece is in good condition with minor contacting to a couple of crystals. Purple fluorescence is seen under UV light. The blue hue varies depending on lighting but shows its most brilliant color under cool LED lights. A highly representative example of these blue Italian fluorites!
