Description

This is one of the few fluorite specimens from Lavrion that show both good luster and color. Another interesting thing about this specimen is that the color is concentrated near the faces of the cubic crystals which are colorless inside. It comes from a find that was made 4 or 5 years ago and produced my favorite fluorite from Greece.
