Description

These specimen came from a small discovery inside the thrid cavern of the famous summit cleft. They are boned and of very high translucency - usually fluorite from the summit cleft need backlight - but the pieces from this small vug are so translucent, that you can see the colors even without any backlight. There are intense violet and purple zoning and a larger area with this wonderful sea-green to cyan color that reminds to tropical sea.
