Description

Breathtaking, colorful, sharply terminated fluorite crystals with glossy faces. The inner play of color of this piece is fascinating. The fluorite crystals display blue centers and bright green zonings at the corners. This piece is also characterized by its great translucency. The backside was extracted from the rock, no significant damage to report. Hard to catch on a photo. All photos with natural daylight as backlit. A very remarkable piece!
