Description

A spectacular specimen from this famous fluorite locality. Specimen mining is no more longer productive - all material is from old discoveries and we cannot expect any new material. This particular specimen stands out the crowd. Although the crystals are very large they don´t need strong backlight to show internal color, even daylight is enough to expose this amazing emerald green and the light lavender zonong along the corners. the habit is modified, faces and edges are razor sharp terminated and faces are very glossy. Main crystal is 66mm across! An exceptional specimen in excellent condition damage-wise; backside was on the rock.
