A large 4 cm crystal atop makes a dramatic capstone to this floater plate of solid fluorite! It is entirely translucent, has good green color, and excellent bright interiors to the crystals. Like many from this pocket, it seems to have broken off from matrix and then recrystallized minutely on the bottom break and the edges, so that now it is even complete all around the sides (microfaceted, if you will). The piece is pristine except for one small unobtrusive daamaged crystal on the left side as shown here - nothing that visibly detracts, in context. It is otherwise, again, complete not only on the front but a floater all around! The piece, because of its good size and color, and complete translucency, displays really well!
