Description

The fluorites from summit cleft always show amazing color when backlit, but this one stands out the crowd - because it shows two areas with completely differnt colors: dark violet at one side and cyan, sea-green at the other side. This is really very uncommon and rare! Translucency is very good, needs only moderately backlight! The faces are typically etched and stepped. No significant damages to report, backside was on the rock.
