Fluorite
China

This cabinet-sized Fluorite exhibits an enchanting green hue with fine detail to the crystal faces. The sizable example consists of a grouping of octahedron crystals in parallel growth patterns with mesmerizing etched faces. Each blocky crystal is transparent and showcases an attractive mint green hue. Around the periphery, there is a dusting of white drusy Quartz for added contrast. The main display face is free of damage, with contact points evident on the reverse. Backlighting is recommended, as this specimen comes to life, and variations in hue are presented to the viewer. This is a significant example from an exotic region known for producing fine Fluorites.
