Description

Rare material from only one famous discovery a few years ago. The geological circumstances make it impossible to find more of this amazing material. The crystals show a green to blue-green color, the faces are etched with a very attractive texture. The contrast is fantastic - red brown matrix, snowy white layer, green-blue fluorite! No significant damages to report.
