A large and extremely complex and interesting specimen of fluorite from Naica. The surface is essentially a myriad of cubic forms and variations, particularly cubes with beveled edges. You can see a green glow from the center of the specimen, where the color is isolated. The fluorite appears to have grown in two generations, with the green forming first, and then the thick layer of colorless fluorite forming on top of it, culminating in this complex surface. A really cool and unique specimen!
