This fancy crystal measures 2.3 cm on longest edge and is perfect all around, hanging off a bit of matrix and so exposed more than usual for a cubic crystal on matrix. It is subtly phantomed with purple cores in green outer layers. The crystal, along with an associated quartz, is perched in muscovite matrix which forms a nice natural knoll. It is complete all around Minute chalcopyrite (?) inclusions add a nice accent when studied close up!

A RAZOR SHARP and absolutely flawless gem fluorite crystal measures 1.7 cm across, and is perched on this sharp , gemmy quartz point. The quartz is, literally, very sharp (I speak from personal experience, having left some DNA on it by accidental handling). The combination is common of course but in this quality, for such a balance, is striking and uncommon. Gram for gram maybe the best combo piece here - it is REALLY limpid and bright.

This sharp octohedral crystal is of a habit rare from the mine. It is about 2 cm across and is pristine, freefloating into the air as if about to jump off the quartz (the quartz cluster is also complete all around!). The quality, the isolation of the unusual crystal, are striking features.
