This is from this famous, unique discovery in 2007 (Geoda de Las Calcitas), the most famous, most wanted material ever found at this classic Fluorite locality. The main crystal is 23 mm across. It shows the typical habit with combination of hexaeder and rhomb. The faces are very lustrous, the modification of rhomb are a little frosted. With minor back-light you can see this fantastic purple to blue internal color. The assemble is so aesthetic and contrast with crystalized Calcite is also wonderful.
