Description

This fluorite cube 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 skele-tonized with good luster. The color is amazing - a very intense green. The transparency is excellent and also shows this intense green color. First photo with daylight as backlit, second and third phote with lower LED light as backlit. Much better in person! The light green fluorite with facet cut is also included.
