Here we have an impressive cluster of numerous intergrown pink fluorite crystals on an etched granite matrix. The main, vertically and nicely centered crystal cluster measures approx. 28 mm and is largely undamaged. There are only two chips at the edge, but these are not noticeable when viewed from the front.

An attractive specimen from the Aiguille Verte in the Mont Blanc massif of the French Alps.

The specified weight includes the acrylic base, the dimensions refer to the mineral alone.
