Description

I have sold many Height's fluorite specimens over the past few years but this specimen literally stands out from the rest, or should I say stand out from the matrix. Sharp, twinned green cubes up to a good 1.9 cm on an edge sitting proud of a thin matrix plate making a great display cabinet sized specimen from one of the best known British localities.
