A fine plate of sharp, transparent fluorites showing the classic Okarusu green/purple tones. The matrix in back was trimmed to a thin layer in back so that there are areas of translucent fluorite you can see right through when the specimen is displayed, really isolating and showing off the crystals, and letting the light get to them from behind (does not show up in the photo). These are notoriously hard to shoot, so if you like it at all from the photos, you have my guarantee you will love it in person. 10 x 9.5 x 4 cm
