A matrix of banded white quartz hosts this very large cluster of twinned, lustrous and translucent fluorite crystals to 3 cm across. Rarely do you get such a LARGE specimen with no damage of note and such good coverage, in fact 360-degrees around?! The core of the crystals is a rich emerald green while the gemmy crystal edges are a rich purple even in daylight (from the slight UV rays they catch and fluoresce to). The total visual impact/effect of this large specimen is really amazing. Historically, there just is not much available of this size and quality. Also, as with most large specimens in photos, this is bigger and better in person.
