Fluorite specimens from San Giovanni mine, Iglesias, Carbonia-Iglesias, Sardinia, Italy are rarely seen available, making this small cabinet-sized piece from Arvid Pasto's famous Fluorite collection quite unusual. Pale amber in colour, and with distinctive internal frosting/inclusions, the cubic crystals completely coat one side of this matrix specimen. One of the main crystals has a corner cleaved, but the other crystals are all good and it presents well overall. A fine example of Fluorite from this rare occurrence.
