Charlie had a whole pocket of these strange fluorites, like no others I have personally seen on the market at any time from the area. This is the largest piece from his stash, and is very much more dramatic in person. It features highly modified crystals of fluorite with (for lack of a better word) "bubbly" cubic fluorite outgrowths from oriented faces of an underlaying octahedral fluorite. They are green and gemmy with purple highlights. The piece as a whole is sparkly due to a thin coating of bright little calcites.
