Translucent to transparent pink octahedral Fluorite set aesthetically atop Muscovite. The crystal is 3.2cm wide and a real beauty. The crystal is complete all around but there is unfortunately a chip on the backside of the right side of the crystal (as viewed in first two photos). The front display is fabulous. The thrid photo shows the left side and the last photo is a view looking at the top of the crystal. These pink Fluorites from Chumar Bakhoor have been selling for very high prices lately (six figures) and I consider this one a bargain.
