Description

The quality of this fluorite specimen is excellent for Greece. The cubic crystals are quite sharp, lustrous and with good transparency and some color zoning. The color is an unusual for the locality pale greenish-bluish-purplish depending on the color zone. A few of the smaller crystals are a little bit loose and are moving, not too important thing as the main crystal is steady, but the piece needs careful handling or stabilization.
