Description

Look at this color! This specimen 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, third, fourth and sixth photos with lowest LED backlit, much better in person!
