This is a very rare specimen, and a very large one at that, of light creamy-yellow fluorite from the Okarusu, probably from one particular pocket. The crystals are quite fine and large, translucent to transparent and measuring up to 3 cm on edge. They have actually grown on an underlying layer of PURPLE fluorite, and you can see highlights of this purple fluorite through the crystals. Almost all the fluorite from the Okarusu is in tones of purple, green and teal, but lately there trickled through a few specimens of yellow, and now this color (the only specimen I have seen like this). 15.2 x 9.9 x 5.5cm
