Description

Beautiful group of pale apple green fluorite nicely contrasting with colorless quartz crystals. Fluorite is mostly transparend and with great lustre, and the main crystals show excellent growth patterns on the faces. With such transparency, a couple dark green spots are found as inclusions in the main crystal, although I could not discriminate if mineral or other.
In excellent conditions, it comes from the former collection Allan Dean (UK) and its handwritten label.
