Description

This specimen represents a great rarity. Coming from a relatively unknown locality, never before was a fluorite found like this. 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. First and second, fourth, and fifth photo with lower LED light as backlit, much better in person! The locality is exhausted, no more finds will be made there.
