Description Tabs

Description
Locality:

Class: 
Crystals on Matrix
Size Range: 
Small cabinet (7-10 cm)
Size: 
8 × 8.4 × 4.4 cm
Description

The sharp terminated, lustrous fluorite crystals are up to 16mm on edges. They show a cubic habit with modifications of rhomb along the edges. All crystals are water-clear, you even can see the matrix underneath. The camera was not able to capture the perfect clarity is the best way, so I have to note that this specimen is much better inperson. The contrast to matrix is really wonderful and quality is as good as it could be. No significant damages to report.
