A massive specimen weighing several pounds, this piece has INTENSE DEEP GREEN COLOR.As it displays on a custom base, it showcases a ridge of gemmy, deep green crystals to 4 cm that have the highest saturation for the find (like evergreen in hue), and simply dazzles. It is not "fine" in the sense of the normal usage to refer to elegance and crystal isolation on a piece, but it IS extremely impactful in that it is a sheer wall of color of an intensity of green that is not normally associated with fluorite. It is also in pristine condition on the display face, with just a few contacts and one bruised term at the very periphery to the left or right. The top row of crystals is exceptionally gemmy, and wraps around to the backside, so that the ridgeline is really a good visual horizon even as you look down on it from above. This was expensive to me, when I got it, because it is so darned showy, even though different in overall aspect from others of the lot I show here. It is also the weightiest save only one other piece, and on the large side for recovery from this pocket.
