A large, very fine plate of fluorite from Okarusu, with good transparency and fine purple/green color. The sharp, lustrous crystals measure to just under 2 cm on edge. Aside from a couple of unobtrusive cleaves, the specimen is in fine shape in the main display area. The thinner areas are solid fluorite (not matrix) and actually let the light through, outlining and defining the 3-dimensional areas of piled-up crystals. In half-decent light, this specimen just comes alive. If you're the winning bidder, when you get this specimen, just hold it up and let the light get to it - the photo does not nearly do it justice. 10.7 x 9.6 x 3.6 cm
