Description

Highly transparent greenish-blue aggregate of cubic crystals of fluorite, up to 43 mm in size, modified by stepped octahedral faces with net purple external zones. The core of the crystals is mainly light green but the external rim has a net blue colour. Crystal faces are slightly etched what reduces slightly the lustre. Some pictures are taken with backlight but the transparency is good enough to see directly the nice blue phantoms without backlight.

Ex. K.Seidel collection specimen.
