A striking CABINET specimen of intergrown translucent, sea-foam green fluorite octahedrons to 4.0 cm on nicely contrasting albite matrix from the famous miarolitic cavities of Mt. Antero, Colorado. Some of the octahedrons are preferentially frosted white and there are small patches of purple on the green fluorite octahedrons. There are some cleaved fluorite crystals plus a few trivial dings, but this is a significant fluorite from a very famous and difficult to collect from locality. See the Mineralogical Record November-December 1979 issue. 12.5 x 10.0 x 9.3 cm
