AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This fluorite from the famous Minerva 1 Mine in Illinois is a true masterpiece of crystalline aesthetics – a composition of geometric precision, intense color impact, and fascinating light transmission.

The eye is immediately drawn to the prominently formed cubes that rise with perfect precision. Two main crystals determine the composition: One bears an abstract-looking textured surface, with delicate textures that appear more lively depending on the angle of light. A second captivates with its mirror-smooth surface and its intense colors.

A special detail is the included, precisely fitting base made of high-quality acrylic glass. This was crafted in-house with precision and bears an engraving of the origin location – a stylish frame for this exceptional specimen.
