Description

This specimen represents a great rarity. Coming from a relatively unknown locality, never before was a fluorite found like this. This specimen is from a found, which produced only a fist full of well-developed single crystals, and only a few groups and matrix-specimen. Faces are etched and skeletonized with good luster. The color is amazing - a very intense blue, cyan and green. The transparency is excellent and also shows this intense blue, cyan and green colors. All photos with LED light as backlit, much better in person!
