AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An aesthetic specimen featuring a plate of microcrystalline quartz over which uniformly colored light lavender fluorite cubes with strong bevels are set. The fluorite is rather unusual as it shows differential luster depending on the area of the specimen, ranging from glassy to matte, and although in La Viesca it is normal to see beveled fluorite, the expression of these on some of the cubes is quite pronounced.
