This specimen coming from a relatively unknown locality, never before was a fluorite found like this.

The contrast is amazing - green fluorites bright grey matrix. The crystals are very transparency and the faces show a good luster with a slight etched square texture. No significant damage to report. The fluorite stands in the displayed position without support (second photo).
