A superlative example of a fluorite "bird's nest".  Not only is this a classic cast of fluorite after barite but the color is unique in my experience.  Small cluster of calcites adds great interest and aesthetics.  Note: Fluorite crystals are nicely modified by low angle tetrahexahedrons. A great miniature.  In top condition.
