Description

The Summit Cleft has supplied many beautiful fluorites, and has been known for the beautiful transparency of fluorites. The fluorite comes from a small pocket in the 3rd cavern. Etched fluorite with almost solute surfaces and intense zoning (green, cyan, blue and even intense violet, nearly purple). All sides are crystallized, etched or healed (no fresh fractures). It is a great experience to look at this specimen with backlit from daylight or LED spots!  First, second, fourth, and fifth photo with LED light as backlit.
