Description

Deep green translucent fluorite with white inclusions. The faces are highly glossy with a good square texture. In the area of the white inclusions you can find a second generation of fluorites. The find was presented in Tucson 2018. The fluorite changes its color a little to blue under UV or sunlight. Many offered pieces show damage – not so in this case – it is not very big, but undamaged!
