Locality: Melchor Múzquiz, Mun. de Melchor Múzquiz, Coahuila, Mexico
Transparent, light purple, fluorite cubes with exquisite stepped faces, appear to be dusted with white mm size calcite crystals. The two large, equant crystals are each 2 cm across and they exhibit wonderful luster. Internally, the piece is totally gemmy, so that you can read and see right through the composite crystals (see rightmost photo). BEAUTIFUL IN PERSON! 9.8 x 5 x 4.1 cm
