AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This specimen features well-formed, dark grey fluorite crystals on matrix. The cubes are sharp and translucent, with visible needle-like inclusions of stibnite (antimony sulphide) embedded within the crystals. A small cluster of white quartz crystals is present on the matrix, adding contrast.

The specimen displays light purple and greenish zoning under certain angles of light, with excellent visibility of the etched texture. The crystals are well-formed and sit on a contrasting white matrix.

This specimen comes from a reputable source and has not been altered or treated in any way—what you see is its natural form. The photos are taken under daylight-equivalent LED lighting to show the specimen as accurately as possible. Please note: some colors can be difficult to capture accurately in photographs. I do my best to present the specimen faithfully.

All items are professionally packed and shipped with tracking. I have many years of experience in international mineral sales and strive to provide accurate descriptions and high-quality service. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I'm happy to help.
