Description

Fluorite with great color and intense zoning (green, cyan, blue, lavender and even intense violet). The fluorite comes from the 3rd cavern from the great Summit Cleft. All sides are crystallized, etched or healed (no fresh fractures).It is a great experience to look at this specimen with backlit from daylight or LED spots! First, second, fourth, and fifth photo with lower LED light as backlit, much better in person! These photos were taken outdoors in daylight.
