This older combination specimen features large clusters of sharp cuboctahedral Fluorites stretched across the top side of a very hefty Sphalerite matrix. Each of the Fluorites are colorless with subtle tinges of mint green near the center of the clusters; most of the Fluorite has a frosted appearance, with the exception of a few glassy crystal faces, and completely transparent interior. The largest of these crystals reaches 6.4 centimeters across the edge. This piece comes with a custom acrylic base.
