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! Matrix specimen were very uncommon and much more rare than single crystals and clusters and also the dimension of this particular specimen is really exceptional.No significant damages to report.
