We have all seen a number of these so called "tanzanite-fluorites" from finds starting around 2017 or so, but this one of the most gorgeous miniatures I know of for balance and composition. It features a central crystal of 2 cm, literally a jewel, surrounding by smaller sparkling accent crystals and all on just the right amount of quartz. It is expensive now, as it was then (Wayne himself paid 4k when he bought it from a Chinese dealer, directly). But, it is also that special. Laszlo Kupi photo.
