Description

I showed several fluorites from landsverk during the last auctions. Now one sample from Sande. Pale green sharp cubic crystals set on matrix. They are all glossy. Again I have to note that fluorite from Norway is generally rare and very hard to obtain. Although this material not very colorfull it should be high ranked for it´s rarity.
