A striking and eye-catching royal purple Fluorite crystal nicely perched on a small bed of stubby, colourless to milky quartz crystals from Berbes, close to Ribadesella in Asturias, Spain. The Fluorite forms an almost complete cubic crystal protruding from the Quartz, displaying excellent colour zoning, alternating between bands of light and dark purple, concentric to its outer faces. A terrific small miniature/large thumbnail attached to a small, clear acrylic base.
