This is one of my 2 favorite pieces that I purchased at this year’s show. This specimen consists of multiple green fluorite cubes showing clear phantoms, perched on matrix.
The whole specimen has a very sculptural appearance; the positioning of the fluorites on the almost coral-like matrix makes it seem almost organic. I can find only one crystal with a single corner cleaved, with that minor (and difficult to spot) exception, the piece is perfect.
