Description

High–lustrous light-green fluorite grown on matrix. The many shiny faces of the individual fluorite cubes are fantastic sight! The surfaces also show a fine and lively square texture. Also the blue and mauve-colored zoning along the edges offers a nice contrast to the green color from the fluorite. There are also some golden shiny chalcopyrites grown on the fluorite. The backside of this fluorite was extracted from the rock. This piece is in very good condition.
