Sky blue fluorite crystals, gemmy, and to 1.4 cm across, smother a bit of matrix. Covering most of the top faces of the fluorite crystals is a <1 mm thick, medium gray frosting of a later layer of micro fluorite, which gives the crystals an ethereal appearance through which windows appear. A fine miniature from a one time small pocket of fluorite foudn at a small REE mine, in rural China in 2014. Unusual material!
