This is a stunning specimen that was very hard to photograph, so it is far prettier in person. The fluorites are greener in person than the photos show. The crystal forms are greatly modified, so much so that the surfaces seem rounded - they actually have thousands of tiny stepped microfaces. The fluorites are translucent-to-transparent. But what makes this specimen really special is that the fluorites are in a beautiful balance with translucent, delicate poker-chip calcites. The balance of these crystal and a bit of matrix that shows to provide an accent makes this really a wonderful piece.
