What a killer specimen from the Swiss Alps! Several pink fluorites in a cluster are perched atop a clear quartz crystal! The fluorites have a very pleasing and intense pink colour and very good transparency! The quartz crystal is fully crystallized at the bottom side, too. The piece is in fact a floater and totally pristine all around! No damage and no repair!
