This very sculptural specimen of stacked fluorite crystals is on a knob of limestone. The crystals are slightly frosted with very gemmy corners. The crystals are twinned, and exhibit both emerald green and rich purple colors even in daylight (from the slight UV rays they catch and fluoresce to). The largest crystal measures 3.5 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 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.
